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)

Couldn't stop listening!

Would you listen to Still Missing again? Why?

This story scared me to death and it sucked me in from the get go. The narrator was great. I'm sad that I finished it so quickly. I can't wait to try another book by this author.

Kept me listening

I was a little disappointed in the beginning of this story. I felt like this book was a little contrived with a more-than-typical villain. However, it was interesting to hear how the experience affected the main character's life after she escaped. I loved the wrap-up of the crime. Thought it was perfect.

Wow

The other reviews weren’t lying when they called this one “disturbing.” It’s a tough listen at times, but I was hooked from start to finish. It reminds me of The Collector by John Fowles, with a little more justice for the captive. The ending was genuinely surprising and made me mad enough that I would’ve thrown the book if I had a physical copy, so you know it’s great lol

I will say, if you’re the child of a narcissist than be wary with this one, go in mentally prepared.

So glad I didn't give up on it

I almost stopped listening very early on thinking it was going to degenerate into some kind of macho torture porn fantasy. Instead it is a deeply felt examination of human emotions that kept me up far too late. I literally could not sleep until her story had been told. I ended up listening to several sections again over the course of several days because the characters actions were so thought provoking, surprising, emotionally wrenching and yet completely believable.

Great story

Talk about Disfunctional

Where does Still Missing rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This was a memorable story. It was almost painful to listen to in places.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Still Missing?

I don't want to give too much away, but wow. I had to keep stopping the player while she was in the cabin and she got pregnant, gave birth and her brief relationship with her daughter.

Did Angela Dawe do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes, she brought all of them to life

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

Lots of tears. And wait til you hear the end. I was shocked!

Any additional comments?

This one stayed with me for a long time. Really had me shaking my head.
