About this listen

A shocking disappearance. A village full of secrets.

Ten years ago, a boy named Samuel Murray went missing from the quiet village of Buckthorpe and was never seen again.

Rosie Sharpe cried over her missing friend for weeks after. But her little sister, Heather, knows that Rosie’s tears hide the truth. Because the night Samuel was last seen, Heather watched her older sister climbing back through the window of their childhood bedroom. Her jacket torn, her eyes wild, and her body trembling with fear.

Heather never told anyone what she saw, but secrets can’t stay buried forever....

A decade later, Rosie and Heather return to the home they grew up in when their mother falls ill. But when their house is ransacked and they receive a threatening note, it becomes clear that someone in the close-knit village doesn’t want them there.

When Heather finally confronts her sister about what really happened on the dark, rainy night Samuel vanished, Rosie’s version of the truth is more shocking than she could ever have imagined. But can she trust her sister? And who broke into their house that night? As the lies of the past begin to unravel, they have the power to put the lives of both women in terrible danger....

This twist-filled psychological thriller from the million-copy best-selling author of Silent Child will keep you hooked. Perfect for fans of Behind Closed Doors and The Girl on the Train.

Just when I am losing all hope that a decent audio book is going to be released and I'm thinking of cancelling....along comes this.

This is my type of book and I wish there were more like it! gripped me from the start, relatable characters, easy to follow and listen to! some books are over complicated and I end up not having a clue who is who or what's going on but not with this one. I could picture every scene and character like a movie! had me holding my breath in some parts and a few good twists which I did not guess!

I couldn't wait to find out what was going to happen next!

BRILLIANT!! a BIG well done and Thank you

Brilliant....Loved it!

Though it wasn’t for me. I couldn’t bring myself to care about what appeared to be a cast of extremely unlikeable characters. I need a connection in order to enjoy a book but that’s just me.

It wasn’t awful!

bit slow to start but worth it as the story develops murky and deep

good story

Very slow and never really picked up like the authors titles. Found myself getting distracted and having to rewind chapters

A bit wishy washy

An interesting story that explores the relationship between two sisters who drifted apart the night a local boy went missing. Heather witnessed her sister, Rosie, returning that night, and later found her bracelet in the woods where Samual was last seen. But they've never talked about it until years later, when they're reunited by the death of their mother. Set in a remote rural village, where rumours abound, everyone is a suspect, before stranger things started to happen - the subtle threats, the anonymous letters, forcing Heather to dig deeper.

The climax is indeed thrilling, culminating in a terrifying hunt in the forest, before twist upon twist is revealed. Overall, I thought it was a really great story with some memorable, but hateful characters.

Good story with twist upon twist
