Summary

From the No.1 internationally bestselling author comes an emotional novel of suspense about two families pitted against each other—one seeking justice in the disappearance of their daughter, the other desperate to clear their son’s name.

Nina and Simon are the perfect couple. Young, fun and deeply in love. Until they leave for a weekend at his family’s cabin in Vermont, and only Simon comes home.

WHAT HAPPENED TO NINA?

Nobody knows. Simon’s explanation about what happened in their last hours together doesn’t add up. Nina’s parents push the police for answers, and Simon’s parents rush to protect him. They hire expensive lawyers and a PR firm that quickly ramps up a vicious, nothing-is-off-limits media campaign.

HOW FAR WILL HIS FAMILY GO TO KEEP HIM SAFE?

Soon, facts are lost in a swirl of accusation and counter-accusation. Everyone chooses a side, and the story goes viral, fueled by armchair investigators and wild conspiracy theories and illustrated with pretty pictures taken from Nina’s social media accounts. Journalists descend on their small Vermont town, followed by a few obsessive "fans".

HOW FAR WILL HER FAMILY GO TO GET TO THE TRUTH?

Nina’s family is under siege, but they never lose sight of the only thing that really matters — finding their daughter. Out-gunned by Simon’s wealthy, powerful family, Nina’s parents recognize that if playing by the rules won’t get them anywhere, it’s time to break them.

Gripping from the start

Dervla never disappoints. I loved this book, just like her others. Gripped from the start and couldn’t wait to get to the last page but also disappointed, it was over. Go read this book, you won’t be disappointed!

Gripping and brilliantly woven

Really engaging and really well told from multiple perspectives. You’re drawn so close to the characters involved that it’s almost uncomfortable to listen at times, when identifying with the victims, but you’re so gripped that you couldn’t not listen (far too late into the night!). Great work by writer and also performers.

Gripping story

Troubling and gripping tale of two families and the police intervention following a missing person report. The impact of television and social media leading to polarisation and negative assumptions being made about some family members led to dire consequences for both families All main characters perspectives are cleverly explored by this skilled author. The book was well read by the narrators. I couldn’t stop listening and highly recommend
