The Missing

By: Daisy Pearce

Narrated by: Karen Cass, Rachael Beresford

A missing girl. A loving mother who never gave up. A betrayed wife who doesn’t know who to trust.

Teenager Edie Hudson was nobody’s little darling, which made vanishing all too easy. Two decades later, she’s been forgotten by everyone except her mother, Samantha.

And the person who knows what happened to her.

Samantha has had a long time to remember, and to regret. Having seen how little her daughter mattered to the community in the months following her disappearance, she wonders if Edie was lost before she was even gone. Or was it guilt, not indifference, that made the locals turn a blind eye? When she meets Frances, she at last starts to hope for answers.

Because Frances is obsessed with the mystery too, after finding a photo of her husband with the girl who disappeared.

What really happened all those years ago? And just how dangerous could it be to find out?

Fine but forgettable

Not really a review but I need to rant for a minute. I notice how many authors will describe people on their 50s/60s as grey, wrinkled, sickly, decrepit and mentally checked out. Every character who was just a generation beyond the people in their late 20s/early 30s are portrayed as elderly. It’s so strange and off putting.

Writing was okay, good narration

Similes, metaphors and adjectives galore (layered like colorful, tapestry rugs piled high at a open air market, with the sounds of vendors ringing in the air like plump crows roaming for scraps on a lonesome prairie). You get the idea; a bit distracting.

I couldn't stop listening

this was a very gripping suspenseful thriller. all the strong characters in this book were female, another plus. I listened to this over the last 2 days, it was that compelling. highly recommend.

A mother’s story

Well written and performed. Loved how the Author kept me on my toes. Could have gone several ways. A mother loves unconditionally.

Love it

Great narration. The story is Mesmerizing. There are twists and turns that keep you guessing
