About this listen

It's 1987. One morning, 15-year-old Tania Mills kisses her mother, walks out of her front door and disappears. In 2014, when a new lead comes in for Tania's case, DS Sarah Collins is asked to investigate. PC Lizzie Griffiths, the subject of Collins' last investigation, is back on the job and working at a domestic violence unit. When a quirk of fate brings Lizzie and Collins back into contact, each must try to reconcile the claims of the past with the demands of the present.

Critic reviews

"The author vividly recreates the everyday experience of uniformed police.... The result is a complex novel that offers rare insights into how the police operate." (Sunday Times on Post Mortem)
"Intelligent, atmospheric, captivating - this book draws you in and doesn't let you go. A must read." (Rosamund Lupton on Post Mortem)

Enjoyed this but the narrators pronunciation of the name Tania as Tar nia jolted me every time, distracting from the story.

Very well written

Couldn't stop listening. The narrator carries the story brilliantly. Very excited for the third book!

Utterly Gripping

This audiobook was well written and narrated. It told two separate stories, both of which were interesting and exciting, but I failed to see anything but the most tenuous and superficial link between the two stories. I kind of felt like the author had two novellas and decided to put them together to create a novel. I would listen to another book by this author as the standard of writing was good, I just felt a bit disappointed in the manner the two stories were linked. Also the blurb describing the book gave the impression it was a single story.

The Missing Link

I bought this having watched “The tower” on tv. I didn’t realise it was based on a book or I would have read the books first.

I found it difficult to settle into the stories as the descriptions of the characters who were in the tv series jarred with their descriptions here. Once I just gave up trying to picture my own interpretations of the characters and their characteristics and settled for the on screen ones, it was enjoyable.

Took a while to get in to story
