About this listen

Where is he? Where’s my beloved child with his father’s blue eyes and a halo of golden curls? My little boy is out there on his own. Please keep him safe, I silently beg. Please, please just keep him safe.

"Your son is missing," they say, and life as I know it is over. "Where would he go?" the police ask. "Where would he be?" my daughter begs.

My heart races as images flash in my mind. The cabin we rent every autumn, surrounded by fiery-red maple trees. Voices raised. Tears falling. A marriage falling apart. And worst of all my husband telling our child, Theo, to run.

The rest is a blank in my memory. If I close my eyes I can almost see it. A betrayal that has left me alone, in tatters, grieving for what we had.

It wasn’t meant to be like that. It should have been precious time as a family, with board games, walks in the mountain, and pancakes for breakfast.

Instead my little one is has vanished. "They are looking for him," the nurse told me, "but the storm is slowing down the search."

The police think Theo has the answers, that he knows what tore our family apart. But I have no idea where he is. No clue if he is safe. And that’s the most terrifying thing of all....

A completely gripping, beautifully written, and totally heartbreaking pause-resister, which examines what happens behind closed doors, and the secrets that can shatter a family. Fans of Jodi Picoult, Diane Chamberlain, and Liane Moriarty will be totally addicted to this breathtaking novel.

I really enjoyed this story a lot!

This was an amazing story! It wasn't the type of book I normally like but this kept me guessing, suspecting, and awaiting the story to tell it's self. It was a wonderful read/listen.

Hit Or Miss

Nicole Trope's books have been kinda hit or miss for me. I've found some that I liked, and some that just didn't do it for me. This one (as well as the phone she previews at the end -- The Boy In The Photo -- ironically) didn't do it for me. I found it not so much "emotional" or "gripping" or "unputdownable" as annoying. The only thing that made it "unputdownable" was dogged determination to finish the darn thing, and the only thing "emotional" about it was when it just wouldn't end. Sorry.

First of all, the "revised" title is a bit misleading. I had to check the book description to make sure I was reading the right book. It's not so much about a woman who "kissed her son good night and woke up to find him missing" as the subtitle suggests. It's about a broken family that is barely holding on by a thread, a mysterious tragedy occurs that leaves Mom with selective silence, Dad in critical condition, and caused 11 Year Old autistic son to run for help into the woods, where he *happens* to meet the one other person in the area who not only *happens* to have an autistic brother who *happened* to behave exactly like this kid, but then they both just so *happen* to get rescued in the woods on a rainy night by the woman’s own nephew. I believe in God and miracles, but I was annoyed by how convenient this all was in a literary sense.

There is a twist, I'll give it that, but I found it more annoying than shocking. Even so, I had it mostly figured out with 4.5 hours left on the clock. With 2 hours remaining, they dropped "the twist" and mostly confirmed my guess. And then it just kept going. By the end, I no longer had any emotional attachment to anyone. I just wanted it to be over so I could move on.

I am willing to try Nicole Trope's books because of the when that I've enjoyed, but sadly this fell short of the mark for me.

Boring

Normally I enjoy this author but this storyline bored me to tears. The narrator was good as usual but she can't make up for a bad plot.
