About this audiobook

In Emma Rowley's emotionally gripping, unpredictable novel of psychological suspense, a mother who works at a charity helpline for missing teens receives a desperate call-from her own daughter . . .

The missing don't always want to be found.

Kate Harlow recognizes this painful truth, even as she keeps searching for her daughter, Sophie, who disappeared two years ago. The police have stopped investigating-after all, Sophie has sent postcards home, insisting that she's fine. To fill the space in her increasingly empty days, Kate volunteers at Message in a Bottle, where runaways can leave messages for loved ones, no questions asked.

Then one evening, a call comes in from a voice Kate instinctively recognizes, even through bursts of static and beyond the sudden dial tone that breaks their connection.

Those closest to Kate worry she's cracking under her grief, imagining that it was Sophie. But Kate knows that it was her daughter on the phone-and that a stranger has been inside her house. Watching her.

Sophie is out there. And Kate has to find her, even if someone will try anything to stop her . . .

    Sometimes I want to be wrong. Do you ever feel that way when you're reading, and you can almost see neon arrows pointing the way? I saw the arrows and I so badly wanted to be wrong. I wasn't.This book starts off at a painfully slow pace, with a lot of mundane repetition of daily life. I felt for Kate, as a mother, but I was bored with her.The pace finally picks up in the second half, when Sophie's perspective is introduced. I found her parts far more compelling. Still, the story went in exactly the direction I expected. None of the characters behaved in any surprising way.I have to mention one trivial aspect that bugged me throughout this story. I kept wondering how Kate supported herself. Aside from a part-time volunteer position, she didn't work. She was divorced, and far from retirement age. Maybe things work differently in England, and her ex-husband was being forced to support her financially. Maybe I missed that part within all the trivial stuff. I just found it odd that she never worried at all about finances. Most people would be in a perilous position when their life falls apart and they can't function or hold down a job.At any rate, the heart of this story is worth getting to, if you can manage to wade through the sluggish first half.*I received a review copy from the publisher, via Amazon Vine.*
