About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A missing child. A house full of secrets. A mystery waiting to be solved.

Close your eyes.
The game of hide and seek is over, but little Lily Murphy hasn't been found. Her parents try to stay positive, but they know this peaceful Dublin suburb will never be the same again.

Count to ten.
Years later, Joanna moves into a new house. It seems perfect in every way, until she learns that Lily Murphy used to live here.

And when you open them, your child is gone.
Because Joanna thinks she knows what really happened to Lily – and if the truth gets out, it might be her undoing...

'Next-level domestic suspense - even the twists have twists. I loved it - Andrea Mara is a star.'
'I loved Hide and Seek by Andrea Mara! Original, clever, and unputdownable, it ticks every crime thriller box for me and then some! I couldn't stop turning the pages to find out what happened next as the gripping, clever plot twists and turns its way to a dramatic denouement. Andrea is an author to watch and I can't wait to read her next.'

I've been waiting all summer for a decent thriller and this was it.
It's brilliantly crafted and so entertaining.
I discovered Andrew Mara recently and love her but a few of her books have been narrated by an actress with a British accent and the pronunciation and her hammy 'Oirish' accent so bad I just couldn't keep listening and had to return the book. So it was such a relief that the narrator was good here. Highly recommend!

Brilliant - Highly recommend.

Loved this book once again Andrea Mara sends me into another world. Her books are so well written and as a parent they really are gripping. She is able to strike such a strong chord in me every time in her books. This one is no different. I loved the story and thought I had it figured out until the twist at the end with what actually happened. Had a little giggle at the lamb stew!

Great twist at the end!

This kept me guessing through out, I found the opening line unsettling as the mother of a small child.
The story twists and turns while still being believable, great book

Loved it!
