About this audiobook
A perfect village. A perfect crime.
When two young girls disappear from their primary school, the village of Heighington is put on high alert—and not for the first time. Called in to investigate, Detective Karen Hart is sure that parallels with a previous disappearance are anything but coincidental.
DS Hart is still reeling from a case she tried and failed to solve eighteen months ago, when a young woman vanished without a trace. She’s no nearer to the truth of what happened to Amy Fisher, but with two children missing now too, the stakes have never been higher. As she looks to the past for clues, she must confront her own haunting loss, a nightmare she is determined to spare other families.
Hart soon realises that nothing in this close-knit Lincolnshire community is what it seems. Pursuing the investigation with personal vengeance, she finds herself in conflict with her scrupulous new boss, but playing by the rules will have to wait. Because while there’s no shortage of suspects, the missing girls are running out of time…

What our readers think
Readers find this title to have a decent storyline with some great twists. The mystery is very good and keeps readers intrigued. However, some readers feel that the ending is a bit too long. The narrator in the audiobook version has received mixed reviews, with some finding the accents poorly done. Overall, readers enjoy this book as a good start to the series, but feel that the later books are even better. It is a thrilling and intriguing read that keeps readers on the edge of their seat.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Decent storyline, hugely let down by the narrator, I'm sorry, if you cannot do accents then don't try! The Scottish accent sounded more like Indian or Pakistani accent, then all of the accents melted into one and other. Sadly, this narrator has put me off reading further books in the series.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5If you don’t know how to make grilled cheese on toast, this one is a real winner!
If the author cut out the descriptive fluff it would be half as long and possible more tolerable.1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A good first book, but nothing compared to the rest of the books in this series. They are absolutely brilliant! First 2 books are good but last 3 are fantastic!
