Story4.5 out of 5 stars 227
Lisa Kallisto is the not-so-perfect model of the modern woman. During an impossibly hectic week, Lisa takes her eye off the ball for a moment and her world descends into a living nightmare. Not only is her best friend's thirteen-year-old daughter missing, but it's Lisa's fault. To make matters worse, Lucinda is the second teenage girl to disappear within the past two weeks. The first one turned up stripped bare and abandoned on the main street after a horrible ordeal. Wracked with guilt over her mistake, and after having been publicly blamed by Lucinda's family, Lisa sets out to right the wrong.

Was a bit slow, but worth it in the end. I almost wanted to put it on fast forward to get to the “who done it”.
Great listen.

Bestselling mystery writer Lucy Harper's talent for invention has given her fame, fortune, and an army of adoring readers. It has also saddled her with dependents, namely her fawning husband Dan. When Dan suddenly goes missing, his disappearance evokes dark memories that take Lucy back more than thirty years—to the day her brother vanished without a trace. That's when Lucy began conjuring stories. The police investigation revealed few confirmed details, so she created tales to fill in the gaps, to explain what happened that day her brother disappeared—and Lucy was the only witness.

I read about 3 books a week. And every year I come up with my most memorable. This is that book. Freaking amazing in every way I need it to be. Totally original plot. Keeps you guessing the whole time. Lastly, and more importantly absolutely brilliant writing. I think I could listen to this book over and over again! Bravo Gilly MacMillan!!!!!!

Just listened to this book straight through. If I could compare this book in styles I would say, if you liked books like You and Dexter you are gonna love this book. Wouldn’t surprise me if there was a movie made from it. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

The insight this author has about people is amazing. This is the second book of hers I’ve read this week. I am a serial listener to thrillers/psychological thrillers/crime and I am so happy I have discovered this author. Reader was excellent as well.

Detective Clements knows that people disappear all the time—far too frequently. Most run away from things, some run toward and others are taken but find their way back. A sad few never return. These two women are from very different worlds. Their disappearances are unlikely to be connected. And yet, at a gut level, the detective believes they might be.

First, where has this author been all my life? Second, don’t hesitate just get this book. Yes, if I could have picked a different ending I would have but it doesn’t take away from the excitement and insight and basically excellent writing in this book. Went straight from here and ordered another of her books.

No electricity, no family, no connection to the outside world. For eight years, Cooper and his young daughter, Finch, have lived in isolation in a remote cabin in the northern Appalachian woods. And that's exactly the way Cooper wants it, because he's got a lot to hide. Finch has been raised on the books filling the cabin’s shelves and the beautiful but brutal code of life in the wilderness. But she’s starting to push back against the sheltered life Cooper has created for her - and he’s still haunted by the painful truth of what it took to get them there.

When a young man is found gruesomely murdered in a London houseboat, it triggers questions about three women who knew him. Laura is the troubled one-night-stand last seen in the victim’s home. Carla is his grief-stricken aunt, already mourning the recent death of yet another family member. And Miriam is the nosy neighbor clearly keeping secrets from the police. Three women with separate connections to the victim. Three women who are – for different reasons – simmering with resentment. Who are, whether they know it or not, burning to right the wrongs done to them.
