Editorial reviews

Annie O’Sullivan is your average 32-year-old successful businesswoman. She owns a large Victorian home, is up for a big project at her real estate firm, and has a doting boyfriend, loyal golden retriever, and a core group of close friends and family. But, she’s also got a major chip on her shoulder.

After being abducted from her last open house and held captive for an entire year by a psychopathic man named David, the former Annie is Still Missing and still seeking answers about the deliberateness of her disappearance.

Chevy Stevens’ breakout book, Still Missing, narrated by Angela Dawe, explores the inner workings of the human mind when it’s nearly past redemption.

Set up as a first-person account divided into 26 therapy sessions, Annie vividly depicts a mixture of ghastly memories as a captive in the windowless seclusion of a small log cabin with her present-day demons sleeping in the closet and timed urination.

The novel itself is stanch, but it is Dawe’s flippant, no-nonsense tone that brilliantly enacts Steven’s rigid, exact language, revealing Annie from the very beginning. In fact, Dawe’s performance so flawlessly portrays the shrewd, rough-and-tumble, yet angst-ridden young woman, you often forget you’re listening to a work of fiction.

Similarly, Dawe has no trouble transitioning to the deeply disturbed David, the mild-mannered boyfriend, or the overbearing, overdone mother. Regardless of character, her performance is seamless, creating an unrivaled listening experience.

A frighteningly intense tale of abuse, hope, betrayal, and the struggle to live on after epic devastation, Chevy Stevens’ Still Missing is an in-your-face rollercoaster ride of emotion that will leave listeners lining up again. Sarah Zimmerman

Publisher's summary

On the day she was abducted, Annie O’Sullivan, a 32-year-old Realtor, had three goals: sell a house, forget about a recent argument with her mother, and be on time for dinner with her ever-patient boyfriend. The open house is slow, but when her last visitor pulls up in a van as she’s about to leave, Annie thinks it just might be her lucky day after all.

Interwoven with the story of the year Annie spent captive in a remote mountain cabin — which unfolds through sessions with her psychiatrist — is a second narrative recounting the nightmare that follows her escape: her struggle to piece her shattered life back together, the ongoing police investigation into the identity of her captor, and the disturbing sense that things are far from over.

The truth doesn’t always set you free.

Still Missing is a shocking, visceral, brutal, and beautifully crafted debut novel about surviving the unsurvivable — and living to bear witness.

Critic reviews

"The intense plot alternates between Annie's creepy confinement, her escape, and her attempts to readjust to real life, from going to the bathroom when she wants to managing her own meals. Still, Annie knows that a large part of her soul is still missing. Her transformation from victim adds to the believability of the enthralling plot." ( Publishers Weekly)

That was AWESOME!!!

Just finished this book a minute ago. Wow! This book may trigger PTSD in some readers who are victims of a violent or sexual crime but for others, like me, it is a book that will stay with me for a very long time. It was told in flashbacks intermingled with the present and was so cleverly done that I’m in awe of the author! Searingly brutal but with a deft touch that I wasn’t repulsed by the author’s description of the victim/survivor’s life in captivity. It was brilliant until the very last word. Well done!!!

Wow!

I loved the way this book was written as a personal account of the main character’s trauma. The story itself left me needing to know what and when and how and desperate for resolution. I discovered Chevy Stevens when I listened to “Never Let You Go” last week, and after this one, I can say that I am a fan.

Nicely Done!

If you could sum up Still Missing in three words, what would they be?

Chilling, thought provoking, unique

What did you like best about this story?

It is written as a monologe from a patient to her shrink. Very nicely done. Its easy to understand the main character's actions and thought patterns in this form. Brings out her personality, which, while damaged, is also smart and witty.

Which scene was your favorite?

The first page had me.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Not extreme reactions, but her humor made me smile and I could feel frustration along with the characters.

Any additional comments?

I was a bit disappointed with the ending, the writing was fine, just wasn't able to appreciate how the mystery was wrapped up.

Holy Crap

I am honestly flabbergasted at this author’s talent. What a terrifying and yet easy-to- continue -listening-to ride. And the narrator was just a terrific choice. Also so talented. I cannot recommend enough. Good luck getting it out of your head though….. definitely movie material 😊

Good story; great narrator

The story was interesting and well written. The format of the story ... you'll know what I mean when you listen ... was creative and perfect to convey the "then and now."

However, the narrator was outstanding! The cynicism and pain were palpable.

Good book worth listening to.

Yikes

This dark tale of a realtor who gets kidnapped by a psycho after a day's open house is certainly effective as far as it goes. Not great literature, but a well-done creep-fest. Keep the anti-anxiety meds handy.

good story, great narration

It was a good story but I don't know if I would have enjoyed it as much if I had read it myself. The narrator was fantastic and really made this story. Her inflection and vocal changes gave the story depth.

Still Missing

I enjoyed the book but some portions of story to me was to long and drawn out and left me questioning the story line. I wanted to skip forward to the meat of the story. However, the suspense was there to the end. Good reading.
