Publisher's summary

What should have been a fun-filled, carefree day takes a tragic turn for the worse for one mother when her best friend’s child goes missing in this suspenseful, compulsively listenable, and darkly twisted psychological thriller.

It all started at the school fair....

Charlotte was supposed to be looking after the children, and she swears she was. She only took her eyes off of them for one second. But when her three kids are all safe and sound at the school fair, and Alice, her best friend Harriet’s daughter, is nowhere to be found, Charlotte panics. Frantically searching everywhere, Charlotte knows she must find the courage to tell Harriet that her beloved only child is missing. And admit that she has only herself to blame.

Harriet, devastated by this unthinkable, unbearable loss, can no longer bring herself to speak to Charlotte again, much less trust her. Now more isolated than ever and struggling to keep her marriage afloat, Harriet believes nothing and no one. But as the police bear down on both women trying to piece together the puzzle of what happened to this little girl, dark secrets begin to surface - and Harriet discovers that confiding in Charlotte again may be the only thing that will reunite her with her daughter....

This breathless and fast-paced debut - perfect for fans of Big Little Lies and The Couple Next Door - takes you on a chilling journey that will keep you guessing until the very last page.

Good Story; Terrible Ending!

Ending…..Only going to share that I rewound the end back TWICE to see if I missed part of the story.

Wow! Plot Twist everytime I turn around!!

uhm, so I am writing this review prematurely, I just have to say how much I love this book so far (chap.26) there's plot twists and new things in every paragraph and I am literally on the edge of my seat. Also THIS BOOK NEEDS TO BE A MOVIE ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kept me entertained .

Not bad, I didn’t hate it. Good narration.
I could think of several other ways to escape with the kids . Harriet was really low functioning.

Cliche

I was impressed by the story during the beginning. As it went on and I knew the "Who done it" part the story didn't fail by the authors main character started to get a little cliche for me.

Good story—-

—-but the ending sounded like ‘oh the bell rang got to hurry up and end this’.

Great Story!

This kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time! The twist and turns are fantastic!

Amazing Thriller!!

I love missing person Thrillers so i decided to give this one a try. I loved it. I haven't read any other books by Heidi but if you're going to get one i recommend this one. It kept me glued to it and i didn't see the end coming. The performances were well done.

Interesting Story

I didn’t like Harriet. You constantly feel like she’s hiding her true self. She lies from the get-go.

I Guessed Wrong!

I totally guessed wrong about the "who done it" for a good part of the book. That is what made it a great book for me. I was entertained by this book and enjoyed it.

Decent if you have nothing else to read.

This book, was ok.
There is a plot twist but it comes early and just stays level the rest of the way. I kept expecting something else, another turn but that never came. Some parts of the story were never resolved and that was a little disappointing.
Overall was an ok read/listen but I probably won’t be chasing this author down for another title.
Narration was great.
