Summary
She becomes aware of the silence at the other end of the line. A prickling sensation crawls up her arms. Her heart speeds up. "Found who?" she asks, slowly, carefully, deliberately.
"They found Daniel."
Six years ago
Megan waits at the school gates for her six-year-old son, Daniel. As the playground empties, panic bubbles inside her. Daniel is nowhere to be found.
According to his teacher, Daniel’s father picked up his son. Except he and Megan are no longer together. After years of being controlled by her cruel husband, Megan finally found the courage to divorce him. Hands trembling, she dials his number, but the line is dead.
Six years later
Megan is feeding her new baby daughter when she gets the call she has dreamt about for years. Daniel has walked into a police station in a remote town just a few miles away.
Megan is overjoyed - her son is finally coming home. She has kept Daniel’s room, with his Cookie Monster poster on the wall and a stack of Legos under the bed, perfect to welcome him back. But when he returns, Daniel is quieter than she remembers....
Desperate to find out what happened to her little boy and to help him heal, Megan tries everything - his favourite chocolate milkshake, a reunion with his best friend, a present for every birthday missed - but still, Daniel is distant.
And as they struggle to connect, Megan begins to suspect that her son is hiding a secret. A secret that could destroy her family....
A heartbreaking, emotional, and poignant drama about a family in turmoil. Fans of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty, and Linda Green - this is for you.

Excellent read
This is the first of Nicole’s books I have read and I wasn’t disappointed! Extremely well written. Loved the narrator too.

predictable
I found this book so incredibly predictable...I carried on thinking it may redeem itself with a clever ending, but it didn't. The main character, Megan, I found rather pathetic and totally self centred. The narrator was good but sadly the story was very disappointing indeed - so surprised as reviews were good

So Predictable!
Honestly worked this out before half way through - really not worth wasting a credit. Had to keep going in the hopes of a twist but none.

Enjoyed this book, wanted to learn more as it went on, but did guess the end by the last few chapters.

Decent but not groundbreaking
I've enjoyed listening to this story but found it quite predictable and similar to a couple of other family drama/thrillers I've read but a good performance from the narrator and a decent tale overall.
