Still Missing

By: Chevy Stevens

Narrated by: Angela Dawe

Length: 9 hrs and 6 mins

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)

Outstanding!

The story is wonderful and well done overall. My favorite part about this book is the uniqueness of the way it’s told. You get to relieve all of those good, bad, and ugly moments with Annie. The way it’s told through therapy sessions is a unique take that makes you feel as though you are right there with her. She tells it in such a manner that makes you feel comfortable listening to her but also uncomfortable in how the situation went down. Beautiful story and overall just an outstanding book.

RIVITING

Wow! I couldn’t put this one down. The writer truly captured the victim’s struggle, both physical and psychological. The narrator was perfect! Be prepared to cry a few times. My only complaint is that it ended too soon. I need a sequel! Definite trigger warnings for rape and domestic violence. Otherwise I highly recommend!

A suspenseful thriller with real impact

The content is shocking and creepy in parts but the story is very suspenseful, and well written with well developed characters. The performance was great with just the right amount of emotion and tone.

Spellbound

I was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole story, can’t wait to read another from this author!!

So good

The reader did a great job bringing the story to life! I sobbed my sobbed my eyes out! in a good way lol

Highly recommend

This was a great book. Slightly predictable but still had a really good twist to the story

Could not put it down!

Kept me on the edge of my seat. Twisty. Loved main character. Will read others by this author.

Really well done

I’ve been considering listening to this audiobook for quite some time but kept putting it off because of some reviews that mentioned the rape in the book. I just don’t usually read books with that content. I’m very glad that I finally listened to this one. I would caution anyone who is triggered by abuse that this book is hard to listen to and all readers should be aware. With that out of the way I loved how well written the characters were. The main character in particular was the perfect mix of a very realistic woman who had endured trauma but who wasn’t comfortable at all with being labeled a victim. I was also very impressed by the ending. Overall one of the better books I’ve listened to this year.

Last 25% ruins it

Book was good. Story was captivating, until the end. The best friend is horrid. Fell flat but kept me entertained for the most part

Wow

I’m speechless. This book is such a good read. The narrator did an amazing job. I will never forget this book. 12/10.
