Summary
Three years ago Toni's five-year-old daughter, Evie, disappeared after leaving school. The police have never been able to find her. There were no witnesses, no CCTV, no trace.
But Toni believes her daughter is alive. And as she begins to silently piece together her memories, the full story of the past begins to reveal itself - and a devastating truth.
Toni's mind is trapped in a world of silence. Her only chance to save herself is to manage the impossible: she must find a way to make herself heard. She must find her daughter.
A compelling, gripping thriller with a breathtaking twist that will keep you awake until the early hours. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, Behind Closed Doors and The Sister.

Don't bother
Sorry but ending seems rushed. Also
the main character seems rather weak and pathetic. The twists are unbelievable and the whole thing a waste of time.

Blink! just Don't Miss It!
Another high quality thriller with the usual excellent narration from Lucy Price-Lewis who is one of the best female narrators out there. I found this one very well-written, it’s tight and economical and it feels like it packs quite a lot into its relatively short length. I say that but really not an awful lot happens, there is a lot of the ordinary side of life in here an yet it somehow just works. It very much deals with how we often struggle when the veneer of security that we think protects us is broken and life turns on tragic events. How seemingly strong people can be brought lower and end up being made to look much worse by the careless judgement of modern society.
It uses a clever device of someone trapped within their own mind and the events of three years previously. The plot twists and turns and it’s genuinely difficult right up until towards the end to see your way to the ending. For me that actual ending itself was just slightly weaker than the rest of the book but I’ve read much worse and the journey to get there was genuinely exciting and unpredictable. Well worth a credit!

Fast Paced Page-Turner
A good, well-paced novel that will grab you and keep you hooked until the last moment! Toni is a single mother recovering from the death of her husband and struggling to raise her five year old daughter Evie with the help of her mother but in a new town and with a new job, she feels alone. Evie seems to have taken the interest of her teacher's assistant, but she suddenly hates going to school, and Toni marks it up to adjustment. When Evie goes missing, the mystery is taken to new heights.
There are many moments of clues in the story that you must try to retain to puzzle out later. There are several creepy characters in this book and you just don't know who to trust. The end is an explosion of twists and reveals, but I wished that the stories woven together were pulled together a little more, or the story drawn out a bit. The end felt like a bomb exploding oddly from a slow burn. Other than that, an easy read that entertains and thrills at times. Recommended!

Thin storyline of child abduction.
A thin storyline is stretched woefully in order to complete a book. Implausible characters, surround a grieving widow and her young daughter in a tale of child neglect and emotional abuse, ultimately child abduction and revenge. The child is the most engaging character in the book which despite the flimsy writing is well narrated. Not a good read, and in my view sensationalist treatment of very serious subjects.

Badly written and predictable
This is a depressingly poor novel, packed with cliches and manufactured tension and without a single believable character. The twist was entirely predictable.

Genius - loved this book
What did you like best about this story?
You know when you sit in stunned silence after finishing a book? Those few minutes when you're trying to get your head around the revelations which delivered a perfect ending? That's me now. This is the first book I've read by KL Slater and will definitely not be the last. The characters in this book were so believable and real, I found myself getting annoyed with them, wanting to hug others and wanting to give the main character a good telling off at times too. Only a skilled writer can draw the reader into this extent and I tip my hat to Kim for she writes with beautiful, touching believable prose.
The second half of the book is very face paced and as each twist and turn is expertly delivered, I found myself unable to carry on with everyday life until I knew just a little bit more. It's outstandingly clever, definitely the kind of book I wish I had written myself. If you like a good psychological thriller with lots of twists and turns, then you will love this book.
Any additional comments?
The narrator did a fantastic job too.

Oh good grief!
Has to rank amongst the worst things I had ever read. How it can be utterly unbelievable, far fetched but intensely boring I don’t know. I fast forwarded through massive chunks, yet still seemed to have to read the hum drum tediousness every time I stopped. Intensely dull and inanely stupid.I know I won’t read anything else by this author and suggest you do likewise.

Not sure what all the fuss is about
What did you like best about Blink? What did you like least?
This book is ok but not quite the masterpiece it is made out to be. I found it all quite irritating. Not quite sure what the killer twist was really it all seemed a bit overdone.
Do you think Blink needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No I'm not interested enough in the characters.

Far fetched
Concept is ok, but the characters are often OTT and act pretty unbelievably a lot of the time. Lead character (Toni) is pathetic. I got quite irritated by that half way through and it was a struggle to keep listening.
Narration is good.

badly written, boring and plot holes a plenty
Any additional comments?
This book is trying to be a page turner but it is filled with such generic characters that do unrealistic action, cliched dialogue and bland description that the only reason to keep listening is to find out the "killer twist". It's not worth 8h of your life, trust me. It's an odd sensation when you are willing the abduction of a child to get it over and done with.
Utter trash, it's trying to be a thriller but without anything at all happening till over 3/4 through the book, this book fails with its mundanity.
Blink? I couldn't stay awake
