About this listen

 Nina Landry is supposed to be taking her two children on a Christmas holiday. But the road from Sandling Island seems littered with obstacles. Most pressing of all, her 15-year-old daughter, Charlie, has yet to return from a night out.

Has Charlie run away? Or has something more sinister happened to her? As a series of half-buried secrets leads Nina from sickening suspicion to deadly certainty, the question becomes less whether she and her daughter will leave the island for Christmas - and more whether they'll ever leave it again.

I've had mixed experiences with the books by this Nicci French husband and wife duo of writers. The present book is mercifully free of the excessive descriptions of sickening violence that I disliked in others by these authors. The story starts as Nina Landry prepares to go on holiday with her two children and her new man-friend, but soon anxiety creeps in as her 15 year old daughter, Charlie, fails to return from a sleep-over at a friend's house. The minutes clock by; Nina's fears quicken and she calls the police whom she thinks are not taking her fears seriously enough and in traditional thriller fashion she takes matters in her own hands and starts investigating where her daughter might be and what could have happened to her. A number of possible scenarios emerge: has she been abducted; has her real father taken her away or has she just run away. The listener doesn't know until near the end of the book. The story-line is compelling and made me want to find out what had happened, but I found Nina, an unsympathetic heroine as she is so rude and unreasonable with people trying to help her. I can see that the writers were trying to get over how frightened she is supposed to be but the depiction is over-the-top. Similarly, some of the professionals in the police and medical services are presented as caricatures which diminishes the power of the narrative. The narrator of the book is good.

Compelling story: overwrought heroine

On the whole a good book. However the police were portrayed pretty badly as very incompetent, verging on stupid. The main character also pretty quickly believed her ex husband and father of her children capable of horrendous crimes. It was an enjoyable listen though and a tense ending which was plausible.

Good and pretty tense towards the end.

The main character put my teeth on edge in the first chapter, but I persevered for the story. Shouldn’t have bothered. Her behaviour was appalling and hardly justified and at the conclusion I realised it wasn’t worth the hours of listening

Fast paced and full of anxiety

I moved onto this after listening to the Frieda Klein series…. I was sad that I had finished that but this one had me gripped !

Fantastic and cannot wait to start the next.

Great !!

This is a very clever idea, to write a whole book over a 12 hour period. You really feel what they are going through, and how the time drags when a loved one is missing. A very strong piece of writing, brilliantly narrated.

Tense, exciting thriller

Good narration
