About this listen

He stole her childhood. Now she wants it back.

Mara Sitwell was only 11 when she went missing. Nineteen years later, she’s been found wandering through remote woodland, alone and confused. She says she’s been kept in an underground cell for all these years - but refuses to reveal anything about the man who snatched her. What does she have to hide? And who’s she protecting? Her brother-in-law, Damian, certainly doubts she’s telling the whole truth and fears she might even be a danger to his young children, especially when his wife insists on moving Mara into their home. To save his family, Damian will have to prove what really happened to Mara all those years ago. But the truth is never easy to uncover when it’s been buried so deep....

Easy listen

Was it a twist or change of direction? I was happily listening thinking one thing but had loads of questions then the twist and more questions- not sure about this one. Maybe it was the author’s intention to leave us asking “what?”.

A few twists and turns

An interesting plot and one that could easily have been shortened. Some unexpected twists but not an audiobook that kept me on my toes.

Okay storyline.
Good narrator.

definitely worth a listen

I really liked it, but the dialog at the end was completely ridiculous unfortunately. mara does all these horrible things but then we're supposed to feel for her at the end. it's weird but I enjoyed it

Good and bad

This was interesting and gripping in places. Main male characters lacked depth of why they acted the way they did. There was not reason. I liked Mara’s character when she spoke of her own experiences. Potential but could have been better. Also the plot holes… so the police would just leave a major crime scene for anyone to explore without searching it for evidence that Damian found on his first visit?!

One dimensional characters

Unfortunately I listened to this audiobook off the back of having made my way through a number of Harlan Coben audiobooks. The difference in quality couldn’t have been starker: characters were very one dimensional and hard to like or relate to, the dialogue was about the standard I would expect in a GCSE creative writing assignment, the narrative was clumsy and largely predictable. The main character (the husband) in particular was a very irritating personality. I get the sense that the author intended this character to be perceived as an ordinary everyday kind of man who is gradually driven to increasingly erratic and unhinged behaviour as the plot progresses and matters get more and more out of hand. The character we actually get from the start seems at worst a cold blooded sociopath and at best a walking red flag; the events that then transpire as the story unfolds therefore seem mostly consistent with his personality and nature throughout. Unfortunately the male narrator, who seems to do the majority of the job, only manages to make things worse. Especially grating is the voice he assigns to the titular character: the wife’s sister. The female narrator who gives us the prologue and then the supposedly climactic ending at least manages to avoid exacerbating the poor source material. The only thing that failed to irritate me was the handful of discrepancies between the version of events according to the husband character and the the differing version of events according to the sister-in-law. It feels like a failure of the narrative that the author neglects to find any sort of plot device to clarify whose version of events was actually true, because the answer to that question alters the the entire premise of the story. The fact that in the end this didn’t even irritate me is in itself a sad indictment of how mediocre this audiobook and novel truly is.
