Publisher's summary

A terrifying crime reunites a mother and daughter in a novel of psychological suspense by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of Trespassing.

Three months after four-year-old Holly Gebhardt was kidnapped, she was inexplicably returned to the same park from which she’d vanished...with no memory of the ordeal. Though a local handyman was convicted, suspicion also fell on his friend - Holly’s mother, Cecily. The troubling doubts about her involvement shattered the family, forever driving a wedge between mother and daughter.

Twenty years later, another girl goes missing under eerily similar circumstances. It’s just the latest in a series of kidnappings that Detective Jason Guidry thinks Holly can help solve. Though Holly has tried to move on with her life, a young girl’s life hangs in the balance. All she has to do is try to remember....

With her memory still mostly blank, Holly is missing vital pieces of the puzzle, and she believes her mother can put them in place. In desperation and fear, Holly and her mother come together again. But in a chilling rush toward the past, Cecily still has secrets she’s yet to share with her daughter. Should she dare to breathe a word, she could lose Holly all over again.

Dark, but not too dark

The main character is painfully aware of just how flawed she is: but she is also very resilient.
This was a good "Who Done it." The story kept me guessing. What really happened? Why? I suspected a number of different characters at different times. The plot twists and turns.
Satisfying read!

Really Great Story

I was riveted from the beginning! I find that many books have plot twists for shock value or to get to the conclusion but the multiple epic twists in this story are so perfectly placed, seamlessly as if you might have expected it then wow! Loved them all. Character development was so well done. Thoroughly enjoyed this listen!

Narrators did an amazing job bring the characters and the story to life!!

Slow to start

I’m used to reading series so this stand alone book took a minute to get the hang of. The story itself isn’t bad, just super slow to get going and then when it goes-ITS GONE! I somewhat wish some of the characters had a bit more personality, but they had enough to get the story across.
I would definitely read this again though- twists are for sure present:)

Hooked by the end of the 1st chapter

Great read!
I was hooked by the end of chapter 1, which is a rare thing to happen for me.
This book is recommended for those who like murder mysteries and want to be on the edge of their seat.
