About this listen
From the New York Times best-selling author of The Paris Wife.
A detective hiding away from the world. A disappearance that reaches into her past.
Anna Hart is a seasoned missing persons detective living in San Francisco. When unspeakable tragedy strikes, she turns to the Californian village of Mendocino to grieve. Seeking comfort in the chocolate-box village she grew up in, Anna instead arrives to news that a local girl has gone missing.
The crime feels frighteningly reminiscent of a crucial time in Anna’s childhood, when an unsolved murder changed the community forever. As past and present collide, Anna is forced to confront the darkest side of human nature.

“A tour de force of literary suspense. It pulled me under and left me gasping.” (Christina Baker Kline, author of The Exiles)

The beautiful writing
I enjoyed the complexity of the story and the characters, the atmosphere, the emotional depth, the narration, and the insights about human nature. This book wraps itself around your soul.

Excellent listen
The subject matter of this book is dark and some of it based on factual cases and personal experience. Do not let this put you off. This is an absolutely excellent book with a fantastic narrator who is pitch perfect with the right expression in all the right places (Marin Ireland)and who makes the book come alive. The writing is excellent and I became completely engrossed in the story. The writing is completely excellent, thoughtful, sensitive, expressive and the story moves along at just the right pace. I’m sorry it has finished.

Sensitivity of the story
It had all elements of a successful psychological thriller and a mystery to solve and a topic which is important to tell. Add characters with drama and trauma and the reader is hooked. Still it is more than that it leaves a mark.

Powerful gripping visceral
I was not surprised when the author admitted at the end that her character was partly autobiographical. Beautifully written, and a credit to her and her story. If you read this book you will be thankful that you did and will have learned a little more of yourself and others around you
