Summary
"Sometimes we can’t see what’s right in front of us, Kat. Everyone has secrets, even the people we love, the people we live with...."
Kat remembers the days when her only daughter Amy wouldn't leave her side. Amy was the baby who cried when you walked out of the room, the toddler who was too shy to speak to strangers, the small child who clung to Kat's legs in the school playground.
But now Amy is grown up, and Amy is gone - to university in a town several hours away. Kat's house - which once felt too full, too noisy, too busy - is deathly quiet, and Kat awaits the daily phone call to tell her that her beloved daughter is thriving and happy.
But one day Amy doesn’t call. Kat’s husband and friends think she is being paranoid - surely Amy is just out, having fun with her friends. But Kat knows right away that something is very wrong. Her daughter would never forget to call. She would never just disappear.... After all, Amy has nothing to run from. Or does she?
A gripping and suspenseful psychological thriller with more twists and turns than a rollercoaster. Fans of The Wife Between Us, The Girl Before, and Gone Girl will be gripped by this story about a mother’s obsessive love for her child.

This book kept me on the edge of my seat, fascinating story and if you have brought up children you can certainly relate to the story.

Good story - narration a problem in parts
I really enjoyed this book however what was a problem for me was the narrators portrayal of the teenagers narrative. Firstly it was stereotypical of teenagers and they don’t all talk like that and, secondly, I just found it very difficult to listen to. So much so I couldn’t listen to the end of the book as it was told from the teenager’s perspective and I struggled so much with the narration I ended the book early.

Got going in the end!
As always with this author, a good story with an interesting twist. Slow to start but once it moves up a gear, you're hooked. Loved it.

Repetitive
Unfortunately I didn't like this book as it was very repetitive, you could see where it was going and it took very very long to get there. I skipped a lot of chapters and didn't miss anything.

Repetitive
So frustrating when the mother's concern just dragged on and on, I was eventually
giving up hope that she would ever phone the police ! I lost all interest as a result.

Obsessive
A sad and pathetic tale of a overly whining and obsessive mother.
At times so sad and dreary it’s unbelievable. Story could have been good but the mother is so pathetic it makes you want to run away from her.
Unbelievable at times. Don’t think I would try any other books from this author.
Bit of an anti climax. Nothing to write home about.

Probably the most boring "thriller"
I rarely leave a review, and certainly don't like to leave negative ones as of course we all have different tastes, opinions etc .
The title review described this as "unputdownable"....I struggled to listen up to Chapter 7 . Unbearably boring .
Repetitive & extremely frustrating would be an understatement..
