Summary
When a local mother and her six-year-old daughter, Delilah, suddenly vanish, their close-knit suburban community is rocked by fear and suspicion. How could such a terrible thing have happened in their small town?
Then, eleven years later, Delilah shockingly reappears. Everyone wants to know what really happened to her. But there are secrets hidden deep in the past – and when the truth about those missing years begins to surface, no one is prepared for what they’re about to find out.
Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Claire Douglas and Freida McFadden

I loved this book so much
This was a fantastic listen, thank you so much Mary Kubica. You caught my attention right at the start, and the twists were great, I was on edge and enjoying this the whole way through. I suffer from chronic pain and I do not sleep well, and I love a good audio book to distract me from the pain. And this was wonderful, I can highly recommend this book to anyone looking for.a suspense thriller, it was smashing, thanks so much for the hours of joy, five stars all round x x x x x

Not tremendously believable
The first half of the book is gripping, engaging, well, written-a real escape!
As the plot thickens, and the reader begins to figure things out – it becomes more unbelievable. The characters tend to become less intelligent and engaging, and more B-movie like.

Slow starter
I have mixed feeling about this book. The narrator is hard to listen too. I'm not a fan and that's just a personal opinion. The story seems slow to get started and then towards the end its gets good and feels like it was worth the wait but the build up could have been better and more engaging and a little less "story filler." I wouldn't read it again but don't regret reading it. The story line is actually a good idea.

Poor plot. Not worth the hype
Totally stupid story line. Confusing and unnecessary side stories. The performance was constantly angst and overly dramatic.

Great performance
Voice actors did a great performance and immersed me in the story. Due to the split timelines I think I’d have enjoyed this more as a physical book rather than an audio book though, it was hard to keep straight in my head.

Would have been 5/5 if not for the ending
I liked the story and the many povs were interesting. However, the ending seemed like it had been stuck on by the writer when she realised her deadline was looming and she had to tie up the loose ends.

Overdramatized
The overall story isn't bad; it has a lot of twists, but I found it to be overdramatized. At times, it felt like listening to a telenovela, with all the excessive drama and silly thoughts. The portrayal of women is mainly as brainless dolls, which was quite frustrating. Meredith, in particular, was annoying, and I'm not sure if it was the performer's fault or just the character itself. I wonder if I would have found it equally annoying if I had read the book instead of listening to it.

Story good
Storyline good but narrator’s voice just wasn’t good for me. Found it difficult to listen. The book was a bit too long and drawn out but overall I enjoyed it.
