Five long-missing children are about to be returned.

It was summer in the mountains when five small children vanished from their nursery school picnic. The heat was stifling that day, the tinkle of an ice-cream van in the air....

Three-and-a-half years later, in the dead of winter, the children are returned to their families...one by one.

All except for Ivy - the granddaughter of Homicide Detective Kate Wakeland. The other four children say Ivy is dead.

Speculation grows that the mysterious abductor is enacting a cruel revenge plot due to a murderer that Kate put in jail years before.

Kate isn't sure what to believe. But one thing is certain - she's about to begin the battle of her life. When the children were first stolen, she was prevented from investigating the case.

But now, Kate will be relentless in uncovering the identity of the abductor and discovering what happened to Ivy.

An excellent, atmospheric book, beautifully written with well developed, likeable characters. It’s a nice change that the detective is in her sixties.

And I’ve yet to listen to Caroline Lee’s narration and be disappointed. She could make a phone book interesting but this book was was no phone book, it was wonderful material for her to work with.

This longer book was so satisfying - it meant that a full conclusion to the story could was presented which I loved. Characters believable and the story/mystery, captivating.
I originally found the narrator annoying but as the story went on, I could hear how skilled she was with all the different characters.  but the time I finished the book, I really liked her voice.

Clever plot. Loved the story; struggled a bit with the performance. Overall the story made it worth continuing to listen.

really well written good books, you just need the patience of a thousand saints to try and bypass the annoying childish irritating voice over of Abbey. if ever you want to punch someone in the face it's her ! could have ruined the entire audio book but as she isn't "talking" most of the time it's tolerable

Good books good stories, awful narration
