In the
tradition of
Gillian Flynn,
Tana French, and
Ruth Rendell,
this compelling
and clever
psychological
thriller spins
the harrowing
tale of a
mother’s
obsessive search
for her missing
daughter.
Jenny is
a successful
family doctor,
the mother of
three great
teenagers,
married to a
celebrated
neurosurgeon.
But when
her youngest
child,
fifteen-year-old
Naomi, doesn’t
come home after
her school play,
Jenny’s
seemingly ideal
life begins to
crumble. The
authorities
launch a
nationwide
search with no
success. Naomi
has vanished,
and her family
is broken.
As the
months pass, the
worst-case
scenarios—kidnapping,
murder—seem less
plausible. The
trail has gone
cold. Yet for a
desperate Jenny,
the search has
barely begun.
More than a year
after her
daughter’s
disappearance,
she’s still
digging for
answers—and what
she finds
disturbs her.
Everyone she’s
trusted,
everyone she
thought she
knew, has been
keeping secrets,
especially
Naomi. Piecing
together the
traces her
daughter left
behind, Jenny
discovers a very
different Naomi
from the girl
she thought
she’d raised.
