Sophie Was Here

By: Kathryn Croft

Narrated by: Naomi Frederick

The perfect family. The perfect new home. Until I found out about the missing girl…

When I get the keys to Forest Farm, my boyfriend Charlie’s family home, I know I am the luckiest girl alive. This gorgeous five-bed farmhouse with its sweeping gravel drive has been given to us no questions asked. And with Charlie’s parents living so close, I feel like the door has been shut on the secrets of my past and I’ve been welcomed into a brand-new family.

But soon my perfect new life seems more like a nightmare. I hear whispers about Charlie and me when I go to the village shop, and when we stroll to the local pub for drinks, the bar falls silent. At first, I can’t understand why, but then I learn about Sophie, Charlie’s girlfriend who disappeared when she was seventeen.

Charlie was on holiday when she vanished. But when I ask him about it, the coldness in his eyes chills me to the bone. How well do I know the man I’m living with?

And then one lonely evening, I make my way down to the basement. And under the light of the single bulb, scratched into the ugly grey walls, I see the message:

Sophie was here.

I have to find out what really happened. But in an isolated house, surrounded by a family I no longer trust, will I be in danger if I do?

A gripping and totally addictive story from Amazon best-selling author Kathryn Croft. Fans of Lisa Jewell and The Housemaid will be completely hooked on Sophie Was Here.
