Late one summer, the town of Monta Clare is shattered by the abduction of teenager Joseph 'Patch' Macauley. Nobody more so than Saint Brown, who will risk everything to find her best friend.
But when she does: it will break her heart.
Patch lies alone in a pitch-black room - until he feels a hand in his. Her name is Grace and, though they cannot see each other, she lights their world with her words.
But when he escapes: there is no sign she ever even existed.
Left with only her voice and her name, he paints her from broken memories - and charts an epic search to find her.
As years turn to decades, and hope becomes obsession, Saint will shadow his journey - on a darker path to hunt down the man who took them - and set free the only boy she ever loved.
Even if finding the truth means losing each other forever...

I couldn't stop listening to it. It's beautifully written.
As much as you would try, you couldn't predict the ending, so many twist. It's definitely a page turner. Be prepared, once you start reading it, your commited.

Whitaker has outdone himself!
Exactly as the synopsis promises, this story has crime and mystery, but also heartache and undying love. It’s a perfect blend, impossibly crafted!!! I adored it. Dare I say, even more than We Begin At The End.

Well worth the read
It took me some time to really get into this book but once I did, I could not stop. A story of friendship and all of its complexities throughout a life of hardship, horrors and love.

Absolutely stunning tale of love, loss and belonging
Brilliantly narrated and expertly crafted by the author. I defy you not to be moved to tears by this beautiful mystery. It’s at once a missing person novel, a genre defying romance and an intricate portrait of a community going through a tumultuous change. I loved it.

Time well spent
Fourteen and half hours, I enjoyed every minute. Every emotion was touched, a book covering many genres, characters so endearing it was worth investing the time to listen.

The book that has everything
I love everything about this book. The description in each line takes the reader, in this case the listener to the places, to the people and into their souls. It has happiness, loneliness. terror, mystery and spirituality. it was never predictable thankfully, i never knew how it was going to end until it ended. And I'm sorry it has ended. I wanted to be part of Patches and Saint's lives for ever. I laughed and cried, with the characters and I will miss them

Another masterpiece from Chris Whitaker
I didn’t think i could enjoy another book as much as We Begin at the End, but this was another epic story. Highs and lows and beautifully written characters. I didn’t want it to end.
