Publisher's summary

When actress and model Allison Langley leaves her former rockstar husband in the middle of the night, it’s all her Oak Hill neighbors can talk about. But the gossip comes to an abrupt halt when five-year-old Billy Barnes goes missing on his walk home from kindergarten.

Billy’s mother, Rachel, blames herself for being at work and letting her only child walk alone. Cassidy, Billy’s teenage babysitter, was also late to arrive on the afternoon he disappeared and blames herself for his disappearance.

As the clock ticks down, police are unable to find any trace of Billy, forcing Rachel to ponder the enemies she’s made in their well-off suburb. Could it be one of her neighbors who stole her son? Would they abduct Billy to hurt her? How easy would it be to take a child while the parents or nannies are distracted?

When another child goes missing, the town is put under a microscope as the police try to get to the bottom of the disappearances. Will they be able to find the two children, or will it be too late? What secrets lie at the heart of this tragedy, and how far will one go to keep those dangerous secrets buried?

Sort of Good

This was an okay story, but I wouldn't highly recommend it. The narrator who portrayed Alison was terrible....she sounded like a grade school kid reading her creative writing essay out loud.

Predictable

The storyline was ok and performed fairly well, but I figured It out less than 1/2 way through the book so that was disappointing. I mean there were literally no other options.

This was good listen even if a little predictable.

The narrator for Allison was not good. Thank goodness for the other narrators. Otherwise, I may have given up on the listen.

Convoluted mess

Based on the great reviews, I'm in the minority here. I never became involved in this tale, with many one-dimensional characters. Didn't make much difference who dunnit. Overall rating: 2.5 stars rounded up

Great!

I thought they did a really good job with the narration, and combining all the different characters into the plot.

Good book

I tried this book because some reviews said was totally shocked at who done it… not sure how anyone didn’t know. It wasn’t a shocker at all to me but still a good book but I guessed halfway through and was right.

Best book I ever read because it's more mysterious

Love the book because it gives me suspense mood and how the rising action builds up throughout the whole story
