Losing You

A Novel

By: Nicci French

Narrated by: Imogen Church

In this thrilling standalone novel from the internationally bestselling author of the Frieda Klein series, a woman’s frantic search for her missing daughter unveils a nefarious web of secrets and lies.

Nina Landry awakens on her fortieth birthday, anticipating a day filled with excitement. She, her new boyfriend, and her two children are taking a trip—leaving their home on Sandling Island, off the coast of England, for a dream vacation. As soon as her fifteen-year-old daughter, Charlie, returns from a sleepover, they can get ready to leave.

But Charlie doesn’t come home at the expected time. Nina can’t believe of all days, Charlie has chosen this day to be late. As minutes and then hours tick by, Nina’s annoyance soon changes to concern, and then to a chilling certainty that something terrible has happened.

The police insist there’s no reason to worry—yet. Teenagers are unreliable, impulsive. Nina always thought she and Charlie had a solid, trusting relationship, but seeking out Charlie’s friends for clues to her whereabouts makes her reconsider. How well does Nina know her daughter, really? How well can a parent ever know a child? And will everything Nina doesn’t know—about Charlie, her neighbors, even the friends and family closest to them—prove fatal…?

Losing You once again proves that Nicci French is at the height of their storytelling powers in a clever, mind-bending thriller that has readers guessing at every twist and turn.

Fantastic!!!

This book was not so much a mystery as it was an exercise in empathy! Both the author and the narrator succeeded in catching what every parent would if their child should disappear!!! I was drawn in immediately and could not wait to get back to it. Very well done. This was the first book by Nicci French I have read and I will look into more. Imogen Church is my favorite, I will listen to anything she reads. She doesn't read a book, she tells a story! Bravo to both!!!

Just OK

Way too much inner dialogue by the main character. I usually don’t mind inner dialogue, but it was at least half the book.

Excellent!

This is truly one of the very best books I have ever listened to. I highly recommend it!

The mother’s determination to find her daughter

I loved the narrator! She gave life and personality to the characters! I also love happy endings

Never a dull moment

Pretty much anything that Imogene Church narrates is sure to be a winner;
This story included. It's a powerful race and chase. Keep up. Stay on track.
