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 mom 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 couldn’t have imagined. (All we’ll say is that Delilah’s reappearance is just the beginning!) And the cast of four narrators makes this taut mystery a thoroughly immersive experience. Don’t miss this unforgettable story about strong women in desperate circumstances.
Customer Reviews
Fast read
It was an enjoyable read and very suspenseful.
Great story line, but repetition drove us mad
My boyfriend and I listened to this on a 13hr drive. Loved the story, but it felt like she had a word count to hit every chapter. Each point was repeated 3-6 times in different ways to try and build tension, but it drove us insane. We ended up skipping through a lot of it to get through the plot.
Interesting
Took a little while to build up but when it did it was very interesting and ended well.
