Publisher's Summary
A compulsive debut thriller about motherhood, obsession, and how far we’d go to protect the ones we love
Five-year-old Ava Boone vanished without a trace six months ago. No witnesses, no sightings or arrests. But Grace Wright just moved in next door to the only suspect the case had: quiet, middle-aged Leland Ernest.
Recently divorced, Grace uprooted her two small children to start again and hopes the move will reset her crippling insomnia. With whispered neighborhood gossip and increasingly sleepless nights, Grace develops a fierce obsession with Leland and the safety of her children. Could she really be living next door to a child-kidnapper? A murderer?
With reality and dream blurring more each day, Grace desperately pursues the truth - following Ava’s family, demanding answers from the police - and then a body is discovered.

You Won't be bored
Refreshing to find a debut author with a narrative voice like a female version of Stephen King! Immersive experience! Will look out for more from this author.

Great read overall
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the plot, characters and overall story was great.
I find it hard to get an audiobook that I can enjoy as the voices are often off or irritating so it was excellent to actually find one where the voices of ALL the characters aside from one were fitting to the characters and not irritating to listen to.

rather average
a ‘mystery’ seen through the eyes of a twisted mind, it’s sometimes disturbing as this twisted mind belongs to a mother responsible for two small children, in general though, not much happens in this book

interesting take on a murder/ child abduction
Probably above average story and I liked how it unfolded ( after a while), definately not predictable and was a realistic approach to a difficult subject for every parent.
Asks those questions of how far would you go to protect your child, we are all capable of extreme violence when backed into a corner. But violent thoughts as unsettling as they are, do not a murderer make!!!

Unsure
I had 2 goes at listening to this beem. The first time I gave up as found it annoying. Went back to give it a second go. Although I did finish but still have doubts about it. At times thought it ok others ready to give up. Have mixed feelings . Narration also could be annoying.

This kept me guessing until the end
This book hooked me from the beginning. I usually can guess "whodunnit" by half way through most mysteries, but this one had me stumped. It was well written and well narrated.

Story not bad but narration is painful at times
Story not bad. I felt like it went on a little much before it started to warm up though. But I was taken in after that. The narration of the children’s dialogue was irritating however and at times I jumped as the narrator squealed in a childs baby speak voice which really didn’t add anything to the story and seemed unexpected. Otherwise good story.

Absolute drivel
I've tried to persevere with this book but at over half way in, nothing has happened. It's a monologue of an obsessive, neurotic woman who worries too much about her kids.
