Publisher's summary

From the #1 internationally bestselling author of The Murder Rule comes an emotional novel of suspense about two families at war.

Nina and Simon are the perfect couple. Young, fun and deeply in love. Until they leave for a weekend at his family’s cabin in Vermont, and only Simon comes home.

WHAT HAPPENED TO NINA?

Nobody knows. Simon’s explanation about what happened in their last hours together doesn’t add up. Nina’s parents push the police for answers, and Simon’s parents rush to protect him. They hire expensive lawyers and a PR firm that quickly ramps up a vicious, nothing-is-off-limits media campaign.

HOW FAR WILL HIS FAMILY GO TO KEEP HIM SAFE?

Soon, facts are lost in a swirl of accusation and counter-accusation. Everyone chooses a side, and the story goes viral, fueled by armchair investigators and wild conspiracy theories and illustrated with pretty pictures taken from Nina’s social media accounts. Journalists descend on their small Vermont town, followed by a few obsessive "fans."

HOW FAR WILL HER FAMILY GO TO GET TO THE TRUTH?

Nina’s family is under siege, but they never lose sight of the only thing that really matters—finding their daughter. Out-gunned by Simon’s wealthy, powerful family, Nina’s parents recognize that if playing by the rules won’t get them anywhere, it’s time to break them.

Loved This One

This book is so well done. I loved everything about it. The narrators had great voices, the storyline moved quickly and was easy to follow. I cared about the characters and about the outcome. I loved this one.

A most important and disturbing story that needed to be told

This was a most engaging yet disturbing story that happens every day. While the discussion and exposure of domestic violence was hard to hear, it needs to be be both heard and stopped. As a former domestic violence prosecutor I was glad to hear the raw emotion this heinous crime evicts. But as bad if not worse is the pack mentality American society has descended to over the past 10 years. Scandal sells! People make up stories for their 10 minutes of fame regardless of the lives they destroy, lives of innocent people they know nothing about. This book deserves to be heard/read but don’t expect a warm fuzzy feeling afterwards. Think about it and look for ways to make a difference

Young love gone terribly wrong

Gripping story. I disliked both mothers. One very rigid and the other so shallow.
Unfortunately, most of the narrators were also off putting. May have been better to read instead of listen to this book. And they got away with murder???

You think you know how it will end, but …

A touch of current events and enough twists to keep you on your toes. Dervla McTiernan doesn’t disappoint!

It's Dervla. What else is there to say?

The story will definitely keep your interest. If you like her other books then this one will not disappoint. The format is a bit different than her previous books, but it still kept my attention throughout.

TERRIFIC NARRATION FOR MULTIPLE CHARACTORS

Not only are there seven narrators for this audiobook, but they are 7 of the best in the business, and their voices all flow seamlessly throughout the story. Kudos to all of them! The story itself was good but might have failed under lesser-skilled voice actors.

Another great one!

The way these characters were written was amazing. I was angry at some, rooting for others, and completely shocked. Another great book from a great author!

Very Good

Suspenseful, interesting, surprising. write more books! Thanks for a good week of listening. That's All I Know I'm Not A Writer. can I stop typing now?

Great story!!

Gripping story, great narration. Loved loved, loved it! I have been getting very bored with a lot of the books that I have been listening to lately, not this one.

Heart wrenching

A story about missing children a story about murder and parental love. Spell binding I listened nearly non - stop. The separate narrators made it all more comfortable no getting caught thinking the narrator did the wrong voice or that accent is wrong whatever. I highly recommend all the Dervla McTiernan stories I have read and this one is a real thriller.
