Publisher's summary

"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?

Suspenseful!

I loved the story but the author missed the mark with how teenagers really talk...except she got the teenage girl vs. mom relationship down pat! The female narrator was ok but she seemed to not always get the emphasis on the right words...in my opinion. But the story!! Props to the author!

Whoa!

This is 1 of the best audiobooks I've listened to in a long time! I will tell you I did not see this ending coming, if anybody else did, You must be a detective yourself. I highly recommend this book. This is the 1st book I have read by this author, and now I will be checking out her other books!

Ehh

The book was ok. The story was ok at first but the ending was a little stupid and predictable. The high school love story was kind of cringe I didn’t really like the twist at the ending. Overall 3/5

Solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I could not stop listening to this book! The narrator was fantastic!! I am definitely going to be on the lookout for more from Suzie Althens. As always Freida McFaddens writing was excellent!

Loved this one and highly recommend. Plot twists that are perfectly laid out you don’t see them coming.
