About this listen

FIRST CLASS PSYCHOLOGICAL SUSPENSE FROM A MAJOR NEW VOICE IN FICTION

In her guise as 'Dear Amy', agony aunt for a local newspaper, Margot Lewis has dealt with all sorts of letters - but never one like this...

Dear Amy,

I've been kidnapped by a strange man.
I don't know where I am.

Please help me,
Bethan Avery

This must be a cruel hoax. Because Bethan Avery has been missing for nearly two decades.

But as the present-day search intensifies for another missing schoolgirl, Margot is unnerved enough to take the letter to the police, hoping they will dismiss it as a sick joke.

Instead, they let Margot in on a little secret. One that confirms her darkest fears and tangles her up in the search for the sender, which could save one young girl's life and cost Margot her own...

Praise for Dear Amy

'Dear Amy sets up a terrific, tricky premise and then delivers the suspense thriller readers hope for-a tense plot, imaginative twists, and smart writing' Julia Heaberlin, author of Sunday Times bestselling Black-Eyed Susans

'Dear Amy is accomplished, engaging and utterly thrilling; beautifully written, with a narrator who manages to be both vulnerable and fierce at the same time. I found myself cheering her on at every gut-wrenching turn. The breathtaking finale is the most exciting and terrifying thing I have read in a very long time' Elizabeth Haynes, bestselling author of Into the Darkest Corner

'I knew from the first page that this was going to be a brilliant book, and I wasn't wrong. A superb debut psychological thriller with an unusual and original premise which keeps the reader hooked until the last page' Rachel Abbott, author of Kill Me Again

I loved the first half of this audio book & was gripped, but found it just went a bit off track & long winded for a while, as if the author was just writing for the sake of filling pages. Still worth a read I guess.

Loved the first half...

What made the experience of listening to Dear Amy the most enjoyable?

The horror of what happens made me want to know how it may feel to be in such a terrifying situation as a child! A parents/childs worst nightmare!

All 3 were so good. Well done!

There is so much more to this story than first meets the eye... The author takes you down a path of thrilling mystery and suspense, then adds a plot twist worthy of an award winning Hollywood film!

This is by far my favourite book I've read so far in 2016. I'll recommend it to anyone who loves thrillers! I hope it gets made into a film, it would be incredible to see it acted out.

Incredibly written!!

I stumbled across this book and I am glad I did. The whole thing had me guessing how it all linked up. A great mystery crime novel and well worth a read.

My thoughts

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Kept me interested all the way with its' gradually unfolding twists and turns. Not overly dramatic or far fetched but a rather believable tale of someone trying to put deep trauma behind them. by burying their most painful past experiences.

Love the way the story unfolds
