About this listen

To their followers, influencer couple Jess and Nick Brooks are beyond aspirational—they’re proof that you can have it all. They can dance and cook and surf, and somehow, they’re still madly in love despite juggling two young boys, Oliver and Archie. When a brand deal lands the family a free trip to an idyllic Balinese luxury resort, their dream holiday becomes a nightmare when Archie goes missing from the Kids Club.

As the hunt for Archie begins, the loving and wholesome family that the Brooks present to their millions of followers starts to unravel. Who is behind this disappearance? Is it Elta, the overworked local nanny at the Kids Club? Is it the mysterious girl who's befriended Oliver beside the pool? Or is this the work of the sinister online troll in Jess's DMs? And what happens when the Brooks' virtual selves fracture completely from their real-world personas?

White Lotus meets The Beach in this thrilling new mystery from the authors of Still House and The Call.

Enjoyed

The narrator has a great voice, easy to listen to and the story hooks you in.
I’m not usually into stories about “influencers” but enjoyed this.

Nailed It

This novel is a good listen which has stayed with me because it addresses the way that social media harms people and families- each according to their own human frailties.
It is in no way grim but skewers the situation we find ourselves in. The influencer is very likeable but ends up coercing her husband and children.
The ending was shocking but totally believable.
If you like Liane Moriarty you will like this.

Not bad

It was well written and interesting overall. I think I just found the characters really annoying...ALL of them. So, I couldn't really connect with them too well. But that's a me thing. I think they were supposed to be this way, otherwise the story and their actions/ motivations wouldn't have made sense.
The other thing is that Christian White (+/- Summer De Roche) thrillers have crazy twists and endings that you never see coming. This one was not as high voltage- perhaps more of a family drama.

Brilliant

What an incredible story that tore my soul apart. Very well written and narrated. I think it was a necessary plot that needed to be aired. Look forward to listening to more from the author.

Thought provoking

One of the better books I’ve found on the free list now that the added tariffs have stopped me purchasing. And extra $20au for 3 credits
