The Stepchild

By: Nicole Trope

Narrated by: Taryn Ryan

Three-year-old Millie Everleigh disappears on a crisp winter’s day, and nothing is as it seems....

It’s the phone call every mother dreads.

I’m climbing into the car after a trip to the grocery store. As the engine starts, my phone rings. It’s my stepdaughter, Shelby, who is babysitting my three-year-old, little girl Millie.

"I only went upstairs for a second," she says through her sobs. "She’s gone."

I race home to find my blue-eyed baby girl missing and my heart ripped out of my chest.

When the police turn up, Shelby’s story starts to unravel. What is she hiding?

Then I get a message saying, "Your husband is not who you think he is." Could he be lying?

Suddenly, my family feel like strangers. Everyone has a secret - even me.

No one knows why I was late coming back from the store and the guilt I’ve been feeling ever since....

Once the truth comes out, all of our lies exposed, will it be too late to save my precious child?

A pulse-pounding psychological thriller about family secrets, shocking pasts, and the lies we tell ourselves in order to survive. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Liane Moriarty, and The Wife Between Us.

Amaing book

Amazing story of Barry clipping type story. I had no idea the little girls alive until the dragon. Pretty amazing.

Great Story!

I loved this book, however i thought it was a bit dragged out when it came to the ruby story in the book. I think it would have been just as good without that storyline. Thank you for a good read!

Started off slow

I couldn’t stop listening at about the halfway point.
It was a little wordy and slow at first but really picked up.
Worth the credit I’d say

Wonderful!

LOVED IT! Very good read! I am impressed with every one of her books! FABULOUS!!!!

Dragged on

Was super slow and took forever to get to the point. No action just a basic story. Sad, as I had high hopes!
