About this listen

"Mrs. Cass, we were hoping your son could answer a few questions about the girl who disappeared last night...."

Erika Cass has a perfect family and a perfect life. Until the evening when two detectives show up at her front door.

A high school girl has vanished from Erika's quiet suburban neighborhood. The police suspect the worst - murder. And Erika's teenage son, Liam, was the last person to see the girl alive.

Erika has always sensed something dark and disturbed in her seemingly perfect older child. She wants to believe he's innocent, but as the evidence mounts, she can't deny the truth - Liam may have done the unthinkable.

Now she must ask herself: How far will she go to protect her son?

The Perfect Ending

I loved this story. It had me feeling all sorts of emotions, especially with the different narrators thrown in. This story kept me on my toes and trying to guess the ending.
I felt that the loose ends were tied up very nicely and it had me hoping that this story would never end!
The Epilogue left me feeling so satisfied. This is going to be added to my list of favourite books

10/10! Excellent narration work and also another great story by Freida MacFadden.

Really enjoyed this story. Probably one of her best by far! All the characters were portrayed well and meshed together well. The narrative was compelling and detailed which kept you hooked from start to finish. I guessed the twist half way through and thought it worked well. Worth reading this one! 10/10!

Great read!

It was an intriguing novel but, like many others have stated, the dialogue of the teenagers (Olivia especially) wasn’t accurate. I can understand 12yr olds talking like that - but not 16yr olds! Regardless, the story flowed well and kept me enthralled.

Amazing!

I absolutely devoured this book! I’m a massive fan of Freida McFadden’s books and this one did not disappoint.
Freida’s plot twist always gets me however this time I did guess the plot twist but in no way did it take away from the story. When I realised I had guessed correctly I was legitimately screaming. Such a good read.
