Publisher's summary

"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?

Really liked this one

I finished this one in one day. I couldn’t stop listening. There are a few twists in here that you don’t see coming. Left me wanting to know more.

Really enjoyed this one

I really appreciate when the turns aren’t obvious or seem obvious and turn out to be completely different. This book fit the bill.

predictable

it was ok book overall but the ending was predictable half way. it was also hard for me to take the teenager perspective seriously as the words used as "teenager" was too mature

Very well written

A very nicely written mystery novel. I took it as an audiobook, I was not fond of the narrators performances, but the novel was so well written that I can ignore the performance.

It's an easy read. Highly recommend.

Anxiety filled home

This is my 8th read of Freida’s books. It was very good story of an anxiety filled home and lack of trust issues …But the twist was a little obvious. Great narration.

Engaging story… ends a bit predictable

Good book and kept me engaged. However, in the end was a bit predictable. Narrator did great job except for Hannah’s voice.. made her sound 10 vs. A teenager.
Also didn’t like that the male voice was only used for about 5 min. Seemed pointless to ad him in for that.
