Description from Goodreads:
"The 1980 a decade when thousands of children vanished—and most were never found.
When six-year-old Charlotte Mercer disappears from her front yard in Silver Spring, Maryland, rookie FBI Agent Daisy Adams is thrust into a case that feels more like a haunting. There are no witnesses. No clues.
Daisy has seen horror before—but nothing like this. As the investigation deepens, so does her fear. Because every missing child reminds her of her own daughter, Lila. And the more she digs into Charlotte's disappearance, the more she's forced to confront the question she's spent years
What if one day, it's Lila who vanishes?"

This was such a gripping book, but I have to be honest - it was also incredibly disturbing and upsetting in places. It deals with child abuse, which is a really difficult subject to listen to, but the story is so well told that I couldn't stop listening. It's actually inspired by real events, which makes the whole thing feel even more chilling and heartbreaking because you know these things really happened.
The story follows Daisy Adams, a rookie FBI agent and single mum in the 1980s. She's thrown into a case involving a missing girl, and the way her own fears as a parent bleed into her work feels so raw and real. I felt her panic in every chapter. The writing is fast and sharp, which kept me completely hooked even when the content was hard to stomach.
As I opted for the audiobook, I have to mention the narrators, Matt Godfrey and Jennifer Pickens. It actually took me a little while to get used to Jennifer's voice at first, but once I settled in, I thought they both did a great job of bringing the characters to life. They really captured the intensity and the emotional weight of the investigation.
The book ends on a massive cliffhanger! Despite how heavy the themes are, I honestly didn't want it to stop because I need to know what happens to Daisy and the case next. It’s definitely a "just one more chapter" kind of listen, but do check the triggers before you dive in as it doesn't hold back.
A huge thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of this good but disturbing book.
