About this listen
One woman’s reappearance throws her family into turmoil, exposing dark secrets and the hidden, often devastating truth of family relationships.
Kate Bennett vanished from a parking lot eleven years ago, leaving behind her husband and young daughter. When she shows up at a Montana gas station, clutching an infant and screaming for help, investigators believe she may have been abducted by a cult.
Kate’s return flips her family’s world upside down—her husband is remarried, and her daughter barely remembers her. Kate herself doesn’t look or act like she did before.
While the family tries to help Kate reintegrate into society, they discover truths they’ve been hiding from each other about their own relationships. But they aren’t the only ones with secrets. As the family unravels what happened to Kate, a series of shocking revelations shows that Kate’s return is more sinister than any of them could have imagined.

Sadly Predictable :(

There are several narrators for the different characters.
Meredith's voice is irritatingly nasal, as if she has a blocked nose. Her American accent sounds quite distracting to my British ears. "Dress" and "chest" have become "drass" and "chast", "horror" is pronounced "whore"....
Abbie's voice always sounds wobbly and tearful, but the whole process is so upsetting that's quite believable.
The process of indoctrination into a cult, and how difficult it is to leave, is portrayed accurately and chillingly.
Unusual and gripping story

I love the plane, no-nonsense prose used by the author, the avoidance of flowery , dramatic metaphors and I’m place every day language and the use of the first person really puts you in the place of which ever character is narrating at the time.
The story is both gripping and chilling It keeps you engaged right up until the end however, I’m only able to give this four stars because the ending felt entirely rushed and although enjoyable, nevertheless predictable and left me feeling somewhat empty.
The book built up for 7 1/2 hours, then all of a sudden in a rush, 20 minutes, it was over. I had so many questions left unanswered, and at the very least, even a brief epilogue could’ve helped fill in some of the open gaps at the end. This was a shame because I love the narration and the tenet of the story. I just felt a little bit cheated at the end, I was neither shocked nor surprised and it felt as though there could’ve been more as I was left, feeling unsatisfied, despite having enjoyed the rest of the book. I do however love Lucinda Berry’s style of writing. I will be definitely reading more of her books and recommend this is a great place to start.
Gripping “page” turner

Kate Bennett’s sudden reappearance after disappearing 11yrs ago throws her family into turmoil. As the family unravel what has happened to Kate, a series of shocking revelations shows her return is far more sinister than they could imagine.
The story flips between the now and then. We get various points of view from 3 narrators.
It doesn’t have the pace of the other books I’ve read, the narrators carried this one for me.
It’s a topic I haven’t read much on. I don’t want to discuss it because of spoilers. It’s got an underlying darkness.
I loved it. The storyline was more predictable than her other books, the characters felt believable and real, I’ve read criticism about the lack of pace, and it is one thing that usually bugs me, here I felt that the narrators carried it well. I’ve loved other books more, but the audiobook holds its head up well in the line up.
I enjoyed it
