You thought she was safe. You were wrong…

Alex knows her daughter would never wander off in a strange place. So when her three-year-old vanishes from an idyllic beach wedding, Alex immediately believes the worst.

The hunt for Lottie quickly becomes a world-wide search, but it’s not long before suspicion falls on her mother. Why wasn’t she watching Lottie?

Alex knows she’s not perfect, but she loves her child. And with all eyes on her, Alex fears they’ll never uncover the truth unless she takes matters into her own hands.

Who took Lottie Martini? And will she ever come home?

A totally addictive thriller, with a twist you just won’t see coming. Fans of Lisa Jewell, Louise Candlish and T.M. Logan will be totally gripped from the very first page.

Critic reviews

‘What a page-turner! I couldn’t put it down. It had everything I love in a thriller – a great twist (or three or four), a fantastic lead character and a set up that will strike horror into the heart of any parent.’ Sarah Alderson, bestselling author of The Weekend Away

Not sure why I waste my time typing reviews like this, because despite the lack of profanity, they always seem to disappear from audible reviews, especially those that are found to be the most helpful. Freedom of speech is a thing of the past. So on to my wasted review....

This is SO FRUSTRATING... there are so many things to like about this one, but I am tired of supporting international authors, only to realize I’m listening to a White American Bash Book, which seems to be the new normal.

Just one more piece of evidence that every other country, and half of my own, now sees America as a joke. And they definitely see Florida as a joke. I have never in my life heard a politician stand up and speak the way the Florida governor was imitated.

The author got one thing right… The media in America is a joke, and it’s the reason that “everything is about race in America” (quote from the book) and equality and looking for something to be mad about constantly. Nothing our media has done has driven this country closer together, but it is destroying us. The entertainment industry is just as bad.

But this person is out of their mind if they think that a MAN in America who had previously left his kid in a hot car, had eye-witness testimony of public displays of anger, and whose kid is now missing, would not be ridiculed in the media. That’s a stretch to make the “equality” point. Alex suddenly laying into the reporter because “a man wouldn’t be judged the same way” feels like everything else these days, excuses.

What I love about the book is the sarcastic humor that is present throughout the first few chapters, and the overall plot is intriguing and definitely twisted. I like many of the messages... how we don’t know about all of the missing children, especially among minorities. But the constant politics was just too much. Without it, I would’ve given this book 4 stars.

However, there are other issues with this book. There are multiple narrators listed, but for 90% of the book, you hear the same one. If the narrator is changing, it is very difficult to tell. There are also details that just don’t work. For example, Alex says the woman who had her daughter appeared to be young with an unlined face, yet in the next paragraph she says she couldn’t tell them her hair color because she only saw her from the waist down. The police, or no one else, seems to notice. There are lots of little things like that, but that doesn’t bother me half as much as the politics.

I’m sad to give this book such a negative review, because it really is a good story. But I’m tired of the same sad song and dance when all I want to do is hear some fiction and escape reality. I wish these authors would go do a TED talk instead of peppering their psychological thrillers with politics.

Please 🛑 with the politics

Another powerful story, with twists and turns.

I really don’t like to listen to books on children being kidnapped but you have to listen to this one! I think it drew me in because I thought from the beginning that her sister took her and she wasn’t in any harm. Although I was wrong it did end up being a great book with an even better ending than I thought. So listen to ‘Stolen’ by Tess Stimson next if you can find the time.

Great Entertainment!

I hate to give away the ending, but the narrating of the kidnapper was way off. They sounded like a complete stranger. The writer shouldn’t have even included them because they make no sense whatsoever once you find out who took the her

Misleading

The character, Quinn was too much, had an annoying personality. Twists and turns in the plot aren’t enjoyable when there is one every page, almost like the author had no idea where they wanted to go with the story.

Too much!
