About this listen

"Mrs. Cass, we were hoping your son could answer a few questions about the girl who disappeared last night...."

Erika Cass has a perfect family and a perfect life. Until the evening when two detectives show up at her front door.

A high school girl has vanished from Erika's quiet suburban neighborhood. The police suspect the worst - murder. And Erika's teenage son, Liam, was the last person to see the girl alive.

Erika has always sensed something dark and disturbed in her seemingly perfect older child. She wants to believe he's innocent, but as the evidence mounts, she can't deny the truth - Liam may have done the unthinkable.

Now she must ask herself: How far will she go to protect her son?

One of the best thrillers

The story starts slow with unnecessary details of the college life.
However, after the kidnapping it picks up the pace, the story ending was a bit abrupt and was expected to some extent with little police work.
overall a satisfactory liisten

The thrill

I loved the narration and also the ending. I still think that the character development could have been better.

Great story meets flawless narration!

The plot twist was a shocking revelation! Great story accompanied by great writing and the narration by the cat is just icing on the cake.

Predictable, But Still a decent timepass read.

Well, this one was mostly predictable. I saw the main plot twist coming (and tbh, there weren't any other twists besides that) from like 20 to 25 chapters before. So there weren’t any “damn!” moments this time. The writing felt cheesy at multiple points, but that’s just something I expect from her books. I don’t read Freida’s books for great stories or memorable writing/lines, but just to have fun and chill with a quick thriller that gives you that “damn, where did that come from?” kind of vibe. But this one didn’t really give me any of that, so here goes nothing. Still, I’ll admit I finished the book quickly, it didn’t feel like a slog at any point, and it was a decent time-pass read, but that’s just it.

Narration was good and gripping

The plot was predictable nothing surprising, but it had me hook with the storyline. It's not the best from the author though.
