But as Robyn starts to inch closer to finding the killer, Izzy is abducted. Unless Robyn gets to the twisted individual in time, a little girl will die.

Well worth a listen.

Would you listen to Little Girl Lost again? Why?

There were multiple twists and turns that require one's attention. The narrator has a pleasant voice.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Long before the end of the story, you knew who was responsible for the mayhem, but I kept listening in order to find out how it all ended.

Which scene was your favorite?

Don't want to spoil it for others.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The consequences of sexual abuse are far-reaching.

Great Mystery

I had no clue 'whodunit' until very near the end; which is a plus for me. It was a very long story that I thought could have been told in fewer hours.

Suspenseful

Couldn’t put it down, but some characters were annoying in their bad judgement (not just the perpetrator)

Wowzers! Amazing!

I loved this story! I was extremely impressed with Emma Newman! She did a remarkable job.

Wyer weaves a story that is sure to leave you realing and looking at the people around you. everyone has secrets but this book pulls you right in and you're left wondering if anyone knows how to speak the truth anymore!

This is a thriller that'll take you on a rollercoaster of emotions. Who can you trust? What secrets is your husband keeping? Who is following you and watching your every move? I stayed up into the long hours of the night wondering who's lies crossed paths, who's half truths ruined lives. Great book! I'll be watching for more Carol Wyer books!

Bye, bye Mommy!

loved it, great story. must read.

the story telling is confusing because it's in the past and present, but once it gets further in the pay off is worth the confusion.

A mystery that grabbed me & didn't let go

DI Robyn Carter is just about to return to work on the police force after an extended leave following the death of her husband and unborn child. During her leave, she's worked temporarily with a friend, Ross Cunningham. He's a former police officer who now runs a private detective agency. For her last case with him, he hands her a woman, Mary Matthews, whose husband has disappeared. There's no apparent reason, and also no apparent evidence of foul play, and initially very little to go on.

There's a significant difference in age between Mary Matthews and her vanished, much younger husband, music teacher Lucas Matthews. It turns out Lucas was estranged from both his father Paul, a former movie star who retired suddenly some years back, and his sister Natasha, who dropped out of sight long ago.

In parallel with the story of Carter's investigation of the Matthews disappearance, in alternating chapters we get the story of a young girl, Alice, who briefly lived in Paul Matthews' home, when her mother was engaged to him. The wedding never happened.

And Abigail Thorn, whose connection to these two stories is at first not obvious, is finding her life is coming apart piece by piece. Her friends start doing odd things. She starts hearing voices at home when there's no one there but herself and her baby, Isabelle. She's getting strange messages, emails and texts that disappear before she can show them to anyone. Phone calls, too, from a strange, robotic voice.

A voice that tells her that her beloved husband Jackson is having an affair with one of two best friends, Zoe.

A voice that tells her that keeping secrets is dangerous, and that she has to tell the truth about her past or her life will be completely destroyed.

On top of all this, a seemingly minor irritant, a woman named Rachel has suddenly become a part of her life and is pushing crystal therapy and care of her personal aura as the solution to her problems.

Lucas Matthews has disappeared. Paul Matthews has died in an unfortunate accident, tripping, falling, and hitting his head while running in the woods near his property. Evidence emerges that Lucas might be a pedophile.

Oh, and no one can find Alice Cliffords, who was apparently the cause of the breakup between Paul Matthews and her mother, Christine.

The Matthews disappearance soon becomes the first case Carter is working officially on her return to the police force, and the tangle of events becomes stranger and stranger. I reached conclusions about what was going on and who was doing it several times, and kept changing my mind as Wyer quite effectively kept me guessing. She didn't disappoint with the resolution, either.

Carter, Ross, Carter's boss Mulholland, and Carter's own unique family, the ex-wife and daughter of her own late husband, Davis, as well as others, all emerge as compelling individuals I look forward to getting to know better.

A very satisfying mystery. Recommended.

Should come with a trigger warning

I don't think the incredibly detailed sexual assault scene was necessary- but after listening to two of this author's books, she seems to go for the shock/discomfort factor. I'm sure she has a good argument for establishing the horror of this, but it was only sheer perseverance which got me past it. Ultimately the story was decent, and kept my attention thenceforth, but I struggled with the whiny narrator -- it made it hard to actually like anyone, much less the incredibly quick to jump to wild conclusions protagonist which got really eye-roll inducing at times. I also have issues with the somewhat cut and paste nature of the "conflict" with the detective and her superior officer, which felt unnecessary and didn't really ring true. I also felt the author could do more to make the DI a more well-rounded character, as it is, there's a lot of tell, not a lot of show, and I don't feel particularly wowed by this detective's perspective or expertise. As a Joy Ellis fan, I was disappointed in that aspect, but it still kept my attention, so there's that!
