Publisher's Summary

People don’t just disappear without a trace....

Shelby Tebow is the first to go missing. Not long after, Meredith Dickey and her six-year-old daughter, Delilah, vanish just blocks away from where Shelby was last seen, striking fear into their once-peaceful community. Are these incidents connected? After an elusive search that yields more questions than answers, the case eventually goes cold.

Now, eleven years later, Delilah shockingly returns. Everyone wants to know what happened to her, but no one is prepared for what they’ll find....

In this smart and chilling thriller, master of suspense and New York Times best-selling author Mary Kubica takes domestic secrets to a whole new level, showing that some people will stop at nothing to keep the truth buried.

The best narration I've heard, great story.

This felt like I was listening to a movie, it was narrated SO well. The story had me guessing the whole way through, twist ending. Phenomenal.

Wow

So cleverly written this book keeps you engaged from start to finish. I haven’t read any of Mary Kubica’s books before but I will definitely seek out more!

A little odd

I don’t really know what to think of this book. The readers sound really false and overly dramatic which is a bit annoying. The characters don’t seem to go anywhere. The girl who is locked away for 11 years knows words such as ‘callisthenics’ even though she was taken at 6 and locked in a dark room??? That really bugged me and I couldn’t move on from it for the rest of the story. You don’t hear from her again anyway. It’s just….meh.

The unexpected twists and turns

I was hooked, invested in the characters, it kept me guessing, the suspense at times made it hard to pause my listening, really great story telling

Couldn’t predict.

I love stories like this with a mystery and a twist. I listen to a lot so I’ve become pretty good at predicting the twist in lots of books. But this one actually shocked me. One of the twists I picked up on but the other I was actually so surprised. Some people I’ve seen complain that it was all wrapped up to neatly in the end but I actually enjoyed that it was all wrapped up nice in the end.

It was just okay

The story was okay it was nothing groundbreaking, I enjoyed the different points of views of the characters & the timeline jumps however the most annoying thing for me was the narrations. At time it sounded sped up when it wasn’t and other times it sounded slow.
I may have enjoyed it more if I had read the book instead.

Terrible female narrators

Incredibly disappointed the female narrators spoke in such a way to sound ditzy and basic to the point I had to skip those chapters.
