Review:

This novel begins with what seems like a joyful occasion: a child's birthday party filled with laughter, cake, and happy children. However, what should have been a day filled with cherished memories quickly spirals into a nightmare for Natalie. On that fateful day, her niece disappeared, and since then, a living nightmare has trapped Natalie. When the police become involved, there's no sign of Elle, and witnesses seem scarce, leaving them to piece together Jo's life with her daughter missing. Fast forward to the twentieth anniversary of Elle's disappearance, and Natalie, along with the private investigator she discreetly consulted years ago, uncovers clues that suggest someone must know something. When the shocking twist finally emerges, it’s nothing short of earth-shattering! I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator did a phenomenal job conveying the story's emotions and depth. Engaging and captivating, this is an audiobook you simply cannot overlook! Bursting with family secrets and hidden motives from those closest to you, I absolutely adored it! A heartfelt thank you to Brilliance Audio and Netgalley for the incredible opportunity to listen to and review this gem—it was truly a delight!
