Not long after, Meredith Dickey and her six-year-old daughter, Delilah, vanish just blocks away from where Shelby was last seen, striking fear into their once-peaceful community.

Now, eleven years later, Delilah shockingly returns. Everyone wants to know what happened to her, but no one is prepared for what they’ll find…
In this smart and chilling thriller, master of suspense and New York Times bestselling author Mary Kubica takes domestic secrets to a whole new level, showing that some people will stop at nothing to keep the truth buried.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A tidy suburb hides messy secrets in a pitch-perfect domestic thriller from the always-reliable Mary Kubica. An affluent Chicago suburb is shaken when people start to disappear: first, new mum Shelby Tebow, then her doula Meredith and Meredith’s young daughter, Delilah. Cops pin Shelby’s death on her hot-tempered husband, but Meredith’s disappearance becomes an unsolved cold case—until Delilah shows up after 11 years in captivity. Moving back and forth in time and across multiple points of view, Kubica crafts a masterful puzzle filled with shocking revelations that connect characters and events in ways we didn’t guess. (All we’ll say is that Delilah’s reappearance is just the beginning!) Don’t miss this unforgettable story about what strong women have to do in desperate circumstances.
Customer Reviews
Hooked from the first chapter
This was such a great book- lots of twists I didn’t see coming, very gripping!
Anxiety trigger
Not to be dramatic but this book is peaking my heart rate, but not for the reason you think. It’s not the content of the book, but the way it is read. The narrator is putting way too much into the read. Instead of just reading it (with some inflections and cadence) they are reading it in a panicky way that is unbearable to listen to. It’s the first audiobook I’ve listened to that has done this (and I listen to a lot). It is a thriller, so I get that, bur there is no ebb and flow. I don’t think I can continue.
