About this listen

1966. Nine-year-old Stephanie has an emotionally absent mum, a limp, and a manipulative friend who walks all over her. But everything changes when Stephanie strikes up a relationship with Mr Man, who always seems pleased to see her. Finally, it seems she has a genuine friend.

When Stephanie's friend goes missing in the woods, no one in the neighbourhood appears to know what has happened to her, but someone is lying...

1977. Stephanie has spent her life trying to bury the events of that terrible summer. When a man starts following her on the train home from London, she suspects the dark truth of what happened may have finally caught up with her.

How do people write such complex books? What sort of brain can craft Characters so succinctly? I don't want to tell you anything about this book I don't want to spoil it for you, but do read it, I promise you it will be worth your time and money

Delicate and Harrowing

I did enjoy the story with its twists and turns. The narration was pretty good too. The only thing was that I felt that the ending lacked the closure I had so hoped for. Perhaps it was the author's intent to leave me wanting more; if so, then the book is a success.

Enjoyed the story.

Loved the main character and the way her story was told, it was really relatable, took me back to my childhood in places, and was funny in places.

Story was good but dragged a bit in places but definitely worth a listen

Great Story

Not a bad listen, I managed all the way to the end. But was very long winded, explaining things in great detail. I did skip a few times. Not an enthralling read.

Easy listen but long winded
