Summary
In the Peak District village of Scarsdale, 13-year-old girls didn’t just run away. So when Alison Carter vanished in the winter of '63, everyone knew it was a murder.
Catherine Heathcote remembers the case well - a child herself when Alison vanished. Now a journalist, she persuades DI George Bennett to speak of the hunt for Alison. But when a fresh lead emerges, Bennett tries to stop the story - plunging Catherine into a world of buried secrets and revelations.

Riveting
I rate this as Val McDermid's finest novel. I was gripped from start to finish and consumed it in two days. I felt I was witnessing the events as they happened. It's a great story made even better by the excellent narrator who gives characters different voices that makes them seem like real people.

I wasn't Expecting That!
Really Interesting story and great writing. I thought I had finished the book when the second half started! What a shock! I wasn't expecting that!!

Stick with it because it becomes brilliant!!!
What a brilliant book!!! Was a little slow to start & took me a long time (& a lot of concentration) to understand who was who & how they were related, to the point I almost turned off & started something else!! But I'm so glad I stuck with it!! I couldn't stop listening! I can usually guess plot twists but a few of these I did not see coming!! Narration is great & everything is tied up in the end! I can't recommend this enough!!
I'm now going to have a book hangover that's going to take me days to recover from!!

this authour's stories seem so very real
a rollercoaster of emotions, i lived it like it was a current real crime, i couldn't stop listening- only my second of her books the first hooked me (the grave tattoo) i will look for more, given that i want the one off novels to be a series once they end i will trust her and tackle a series next
life changing val mcdermid, thank you

A listen worth doing
Very good book that lost me a tiny bit in the middle part but that might be down to the gap I left in listening to the book!
On the whole a really good listen that got more consuming in the second part & developed twists & turns that I had to rewind to fully comprehend!
Worth a go for sure

Excellent
A very clever and complicated detective novel with a big twist although not a complete surprise.

Transcended
This is the first book by Val I've listened to or read. Her writing is exquisite, you are transcended to the time and the scenes of the story. The narratorion is excellent.

Everything About This Book Was 5*!
I loved this book.
I empathised with the characters.
I didn't want to stop listening.
I didn't want it to end!
This is a book that I would highly recommend. The best so far in my audible adventures!
I'm not going to tell or indicate the story. Suffice to say, if you like, novels, detectives and a mystery, you should love this!
