Summary

'One of their very best. Compelling, moving and beautifully written...an absolute winner' Observer

‘Classic Nicci French: an unputdownable missing-persons thriller that’s also a searing examination of family, memory and grief. A big-skied, full-blooded, broken-hearted book' Erin Kelly

She’s loved by all who meet her. But someone wants her gone....

Then

When beautiful and vivacious Charlotte Salter fails to turn up to her husband Alec’s 50th birthday party, her kids are worried, but Alec is not. As the days pass and there’s still no word from Charlie, her daughter, Etty, and her sons, Niall, Paul and Ollie, all struggle to come to terms with her disappearance.

How can anyone just vanish without a trace?

Left with no answers and in limbo, the Salter children try and go on with their lives, all the while thinking that their mother’s killer is potentially very close to home.

Now

After years away, Etty returns home to the small East Anglian village where she grew up to help move her father into a care home. Now in his eighties, Alec has dementia and often mistakes his daughter for her mother.

Etty is a changed woman from the trouble-free girl she was when Charlie was still around - all the Salter children have spent decades running and hiding from their mother’s disappearance.

But when their childhood friends, Greg and Morgen Ackerley, decide to do a podcast about Charlotte’s disappearance, it seems like the town’s buried secrets – and the Salters’ – might finally come to light.

After all this time, will they finally find out what really happened to Charlotte Salter?

Good story oddly narrated

Having listened to dozens of books on audible you get used to a certain type of narrator telling a certain type of story. Although this story has adult themes it appeared to be narrated by somebody as if it was a young persons book- I had to check to see it it was in a YA series. I enjoyed the tale enormously but the narration was sometimes at odds with the theme.

Sad story set in a beautiful background very well written.

I loved the entanglement between the families and Maud a probable scapegoat with sadness of her own. Maybe we’ll get more about her in future books?

Amazing writing with twists

I rate this mostly a 4 star due to the twist and turns in the story. If your looking for a thriller/ crime I would recommend

Not their best…

Regrettably I had to give up because I found the narration irritating. I couldn’t get into the characters or the story because of their unintentionally comic voices.

Pretty overrated

Awful narrator! The book itself is predictable, dreary and formulaic. Only good thing about is Maud who come in much too late.

Good storytelling, I couldn’t stop listening

Believable characters, great storyline, enough intrigue to keep you guessing.
I struggled with the narration at first, a little stilted I thought, however the story had me hooked and I still really enjoyed it

Really enjoyed this story.

Good story, I'm from Suffolk so I loved the description of the landscape. The narration was brilliant and I really enjoyed the story.
