Finding Grace

By: K. L. Slater

Narrated by: Lucy Price-Lewis

This morning, my daughter sat right here, munching her breakfast, too excited to finish it. Now, she is missing.

The day after her ninth birthday, Lucie and Blake Sullivan agree, for the very first time, to let their daughter, Grace, make the four-minute walk back home alone from a friend’s house just down the street.

They joke with friends about hiding behind bushes to ensure she is safe. But the joke turns sour when Grace does not appear.

Despite the best efforts of the police and local community, Grace seems to have vanished into thin air. With hope fading fast, Lucie knows she can rely on her husband to support her through such dark times. That is until the day she makes a shocking discovery, hidden in Blake’s desk, and suddenly she begins to doubt everything she knew about the man she married.

But Lucie harbours a terrible secret of her own. One that she has never shared with anyone, even Blake....

And as the search for Grace reaches fever pitch, Lucie receives a terrifying message. If she is ever to see Grace again, Lucie has no choice but to face the past she tried hard to bury forever. And she must do it alone.

The most gripping psychological thriller you’ll listen to this year from the best-selling author K.L. Slater. If you love The Wife Between Us or Gone Girl, you’ll be totally hooked on Finding Grace.

Disappointing

I enjoyed the beginning of the book but as it progressed it was ridiculous. The main character makes one unbelievably bad decision after another until I wanted to scream. The story was improbable and Lucy was a weak and annoying character.

First 45 chapters are a prologue

If you ignore the warning reviews as I did, you could still skip to CHAPTER 46 if you want the important stuff from 16 years ago. Lucy has integrity: she’s consistent in her poor understanding of the world around her and poor coping. The lengthy first half of the book provides more examples with minimal plot.

Excellent read

I really enjoyed this book and it didn’t fail to surprise me a couple of times. I would recommend it heartily.

Gripping

Great read, it kept me wanting more. There were lots of twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat.

Page Turner

Nothing is more annoying than knowing exactly what is going to happen ahead of time...OR having such a ridiculous ending that you are sorry that you bothered. It's hard to write the perfect story, but I felt like this was a good balance. Definitely a page turner.
