Summary

A nail-biting, gripping psychological thriller

The perfect family...or the perfect lie?

When a child’s scream pierces the night, Mira does what any good neighbor would do: She calls the police. She wants to make sure that Rosie, the little girl next door, is safe. Opening her front door to the police the next morning, Gemma's picture-perfect family is forced under scrutiny of social services.

As her flawless life begins to crumble around her, Gemma must fight to defend the family she loves and protect her daughter from the terrible secret she's been keeping. But who has Rosie been confiding in when Gemma’s back is turned? And why has she lied to the police?

When Rosie disappears without a trace, Gemma thinks she only has herself to blame. That is, until she finds a little pink diary containing a truth even more devastating than the lie....

If you loved The Couple Next Door and Big Little Lies, you’ll adore this razor-sharp, tense, and utterly engrossing page turner about the people we choose to trust and the secrets we keep behind closed doors.

I had a Love/Hate Relationship With this Book

As a mother of two daughters very close to Rosie’s age parts of this book really resonated with me. At times it even had me close to tears.

However sometimes the story didn’t quite flow and caused me to lose interest. I found it much easier to get into the heart of one character more than the other but maybe that is the authors intention.

Overall it was still enjoyable and as a mother a very thought provoking listen.

Good until the end

I listened to this book fairly swiftly as was gripped from outset which is a good thing. I also enjoyed the style of writing and the narration.
Unfortunately the end was slightly farcical & disappointing.

A bit disappointing

The ending was very disappointing
The story dragged on a bit and I kept losing interest over and over again.
The characters were a bit dull
I kept expecting something to happen, but it was just a very boring end

Oh my actual life .... this was fantastic!

It's 4.25a.m. and I've just finished listening to this book! I couldn't stop and take a break from it! It was gripping throughout. I'd definitely recommend this author and narrator - and, of course, the book! Definitely a 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Yes, but

Yes but I would have liked the ending to be a bit stronger - sadly in real life Social Services don’t just walk off into the sunset.

A very Differently & Interesting book.

As a Safeguarding & Outreach worker I was totally engrossed at where the Mum & Mira needed guidance. Definately left open for a second book. Narrator was good & of course the Author. Well done on this very different book with goid awareness in Childcare fields.

How the Tables Change

This is a re-read for me.
I enjoyed this book the second time of reading, possibly as I needed the escapism from real-life events.
The grass is not always greener.
The meddling neighbour got her comeuppance and got twisted...
