Summary

Two estranged sisters reunite to solve the harrowing mystery of their missing mother.

In 1998, the American Jorgenson family had been on a year-long road trip in Australia. One humid, storming night, the mother - Elsa Jorgenson - vanished in an isolated stretch of Australian everglades. Elsa was never seen again.

That night, twelve-year-old Lily Jorgenson was left alone and terrified in the family camper—even her teenage sister Iris is missing. When Iris comes racing back through the rain, she refuses to tell where she’s been. Lily is certain her sister is hiding a dark secret.

24 years later, Lily is a travel writer living a settled life with her son in Pennsylvania, USA. Lily and Iris are estranged, with Iris’s secret having torn them apart. When floods dredge up their mother’s backpack from the everglades, tantalising clues are uncovered, and the police reopen the cold case.

Lily returns to Australia, determined to force Iris to finally tell her secret, and to do that, she'll have to reunite with her. But when Lily unlocks the gut-wrenching events of the past, she finds that everything she thought was true about her family is about to shatter.

ANNI TAYLOR lives on The Central Coast, north of Sydney, Australia, with her partner and four boys. Her thriller novels include The Game You Played, Stranger in the Woods and Poison Orchids.

An unexpected great audio book. The narration was excellent and the storyline interesting beginning to the end. I would recommend it.

Not good - blooming BRILLIANT!

Really good story, interesting, entertaining and very emotive. This author is So clever, so much detail and guts to the story with such believable, real characters. I found myself quite emotional at the end. Review by Lou Mayhew. Bit sad now because I don’t think I have many of Anni’s books left on Audible to read.

Excellent narration of a twisty story

I was quickly pulled into this story by both the intriguing plot & excellent narrator, who managed to smoothly switch between accents. The shift in time & between characters was handled really well & I felt I could clearly understand what was going on. There’s a need to suspend belief but it was quite possible to do so. An enjoyable listen.
