Summary

Two siblings, both missing for 20 years turn up within one day of each other. One dead. One alive.

It was an ordinary school day, the day I lost my little brother.

One moment he was on the roundabout and then was gone. Gone. Missing.

They all blamed me. I was in charge. Even though I was only ten years old.

They sent me away. The hurt, the shame, the questions. The not knowing.

I tried to move on.

It’s been nineteen years in exile and now somebody wants me back.

Someone with a dark secret. They hold the keys, they know the truth.

So, I need to return to the Welsh village of my childhood to find out who, because I have a secret, too…

I did something bad.

Diane Saxon’s standalone thriller is sure to plunge you into the dark world of secrets and lies.

Loved everything

This was a fantastic book, absolutely loved everything about it. The narrator was great, the accents, the characters, the plot. I really enjoyed all of it. Well worth a credit.

A terrific story about love and murder .

The reading by Charlotte Worthing was excellent and made the story come to life. The story was brilliant with lots of twists and turns which keeps a reader wanting more after each chapter. TERRIFIC.👍

Quite enjoyable

It tied everything up quite well. Some rather corny bits and very formulaic. It passed the time.

all round a good book

I really enjoyed the book , excellent story and plot , the narator was also brilliant . The book comes with a happy ending and an unexpected ending . no one could imagine losing a child , for the parents and siblings , although this is not a true story it gives an excellent idea of the effect it had on not only the family but the people who surrounded their lives . Everyone suffered in some way or another

Really enjoyable read

Great story, very well written with a good depth but without being long winded. Helped by a very good narrator who I found very easy to listen to. Like peeling back layers of an onion, the history and plot kept unfolding, keping you guessing about what happened all those years ago.
I'm looking forward to reading the sequel!

Enjoyable but slow

I almost gave up on it after 4h in but then it suddenly got interesting. Good narration but definitely didn’t love it

Good story and narration

I enjoyed this story, it is sad and heartbreaking but also has enough light and good in the main character to make it enjoyable. It was a bit predictable towards the end and I did guess the killer but is still well worth a listen. I loved the relationship between Caryn and Dillan and the flashbacks to the past. Really well read by the narrator with clear character voices coming through. Will def read another by this author
