Hmm.. not the strongest of Lisa Jewell's, but I guess I'm a minority here. The premise is so good - a girl went missing one day, her family was devastated, and years later, her mom met a girl who looked exactly like her missing daughter- only a few years younger than when she's missing.
I do hope there are some satisfying twist, unexpected ending or genius revealing in the end, but apparantely, the book is so predictable even before the first half of the story. I just can't imagine a more straigh ...more

Four and a half stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟✨
I just finished this one on Audible and loved it. The characters were fabulous, as was the UK setting, and the narrator’s voices kept me fully invested. Then before I could even think about it, the middle to end flew by and were a great continuing thrill a minute, as well as a fine wrap up. New fan of Lisa Jewell !

Solid thriller though I saw parts of the twist coming together early. Still an engaging mystery that kept me listening while I worked out and ran errands. Newell rarely disappoints! #audio
I only stayed because of the narrator, Helen Duff. There were some nice lines, but the plot was too predictable and it was too long and Laurel didn't even have character development.

3.5 stars. I was able to guess each “twist” which always lessens my enjoyment somewhat, but my interest was still held throughout.
