Summary

Two years ago, Beth turned her back on her three-year-old niece for just a few seconds. She disappeared without a trace.

One day, Beth receives a photograph from an anonymous number; she is sure it's a photograph of her niece. She is determined to find her and bring her home. But someone isn't pleased when Beth returns, and they will do what it takes to get rid of her for good.

An intriguing plot

The narrator raised the game of this book.
Interesting plot with tedious repetition of making hot drinks. At one point I thought there were drugs in the cofee maker.
The dilemma of the heroine was compelling but her flaws and the flaws in the plot were not developed to hold the suspense in a deep way but I enjoyed the narrative.

Mixed feelings

I found myself getting annoyed with this story - but still had to get to the end! Not sure if it was the narrator or the unreasonable actions of the central character - it was all a bit creepy. Unlike other DS Butler books I have listened to so far.

Good Read

I enjoyed this book
A few things we're not explained, maybe there as a red herring but they should have been explained at the end.

Good twisty ending

Definitely one that keeps you guessing the whole way through. I didn’t guess right either which I always see as a good sign for a good book

Was a bit confused

But still don’t know what the negative comments were about. Of course people react to stories and narrators very differently and we can’t all like the same stories or there weren’t any diversities of authors or readers. I was captured by the story maybe as it is every parents nightmare or even grandparents or whoever looks after children and who love them dearly and don’t want anything else than keeping them safe and secure and let no harm reach them. Ever. Not an usual story for a crime thriller either but it was mesmerising to see that more the story got muddled and it was difficult to see at times who the victims were and who the perpetrators were or what even the real story was. I believe this is worth full rating and can only recommend it. And for someone who discards of a lot of audiobooks due to narrators irritating me I found this one quite agreeable. It is always biased though not only the stories you like but also how to react to a narrators voice. I keep some several trials as sometimes I have more patience and I try to look behind some voices to see is it only an irritation or does it affect the stories. Very often to try again let’s you find stories very well worth it.
