About this listen

Who would you trust to keep your child safe?

Izzy is thrilled when her shy 12-year-old son is invited for his first sleepover. Nick has spent years being isolated and picked on; he deserves a night of fun and friendship.

But Izzy is also nervous: it's a year to the day since bullies put Nick in hospital. She drops him off at his new best friend's house with mixed feelings. Arriving to collect him the following morning, her worst fears come true....

Nick isn't there.

Who has taken her son?

And will she ever get him back?

A gripping and emotional thriller, perfect for fans of Claire McGowan's What You Did, Karen Cole's Deceive Me and Jane Shemilt's Little Friends.

I found quite confusing and had to keep going back to make sense of some if it.

The story got more and more ridiculous towards the end and it went on and on, and I was bored by the end and didn't really care what happened.

Not that great
