About this listen

From the best-selling author of If You Knew Her comes this harrowing tale of suspense - a story ripped from today’s headlines - of a tight-knit English community rocked by the murder of a mother and the mysterious disappearance of her daughter, and the secrets that lie concealed beneath a carefully constructed facade.

A small town’s beloved family.

A shocking, senseless crime - and the dark secret at the heart of it all.

Everyone in Ashford, Cornwall, knows Meg Nichols and her daughter, Grace. Meg has been selflessly caring for Grace for years, and Grace - smiling and optimistic in spite of her many illnesses - adores her mother. So when Meg is found brutally bludgeoned in her bed and her daughter missing, the community is rocked. Meg had lived in terror of her abusive, unstable ex, convinced that he would return to try and kidnap Grace…as he had once before. Now it appears her fear was justified.

Jon Katrin, a local journalist, knows he should avoid getting drawn back into this story. The article he wrote about Meg and Grace caused rifts within his marriage and the town. Perhaps if he can help find Grace, he can atone for previous lapses in judgment. The Nichols’ neighbor, Cara - contending with her own guilt over not being a better friend to Grace - becomes an unexpected ally. But in searching for Grace, Jon and Cara uncover anomalies that lead to more and more questions.

Through multiple viewpoints and diary entries, the truth about Grace emerges, revealing a tragedy more twisted than anyone could have ever imagined....

So well written, my first read by Emily Elgar, it won’t be my last. I was hooked from beginning to end. Even the annoying narrator couldn’t make me stop listening to this heart capturing story. Read or listen NOW!

A story ripped from the Headlines

Meg the loving mother to a very sick child. Grace the daughter, so frail, sick, chair and bed bound, loves her Mum. Cara the neighbor and friend to Grace, loves what time she spent with Grace, but as time passes, she sees her less frequently. Jon, the disgraced journalist that published an not so flattering article about Meg and Grace, manages to have the whole town turn against him. Than, Meg is murdered, the town is shocked, but worse Grace is Gone.

Gods story, difficult to determine who was speaking.

This book was an easy listen. The ending was somewhat predictable from the very beginning but it was well written and the slight twist was a nice addition. I had a difficult time telling which character was speaking as the primary male character sounded nearly identical to the secondary female character. The character changes are quick with very little difference in the narrator’s voice.

A Hallmark story

I can definitely see this as a Hallmark movie. A bit predictable for me. Not a horrible story but the narration was a buzzkill. While she read well, it was hard to follow when 2 characters had the same voice. Especially when one was female and one male. Nice ending with a little twist.

What a Wild Ride!

This book was such an interesting tale. You didn't know what was going to happen next. The narration was ok, except for the fact that the male character in the story was clearly a female, so it was hard to keep track of who was speaking. The story was very emotional and well told. The conclusion was well worth the wait.

Horrid Narration

I started and stopped this book multiple times. I can't return the book because I've spent too much time trying to listen to it. Don't let this happen to you. The narrator's voice was grating - I thought I'd get used to it but couldn't. Really 0 starts for me.

Couldn’t finish it

Woman reading male part, but you have no idea it’s supposed to be a male part… such a confusing time until you realize she’s not differentiating between male and female parts!
