The Waiting Room

De: Emily Bleeker

Narrado por: Sophie Amoss

From the bestselling author of When I’m Gone and Working Fire comes a gripping novel about a mother, her missing daughter, and the dark secrets that engulf them.

Ever since her husband’s death collided with the birth of her daughter, postpartum depression has taken hold of Veronica Shelton. She can’t sleep, can’t work, and can’t bear to touch her beautiful baby girl. Her emotional state is whispering lies in Veronica’s ear: You’re a bad mother. Your baby would be better off without you. But not everything can be reasoned away by Veronica’s despair. Can it?

After all, the break-in at her house happened. The disturbing sketches she found in her studio are real. So is the fear for her daughter’s safety—especially when Veronica comes home to a cold, silent nursery and a missing baby.

As she turns from victim into primary suspect, Veronica realizes that only she can find her daughter. Authorities aren’t helping. They’re only watching. Veronica’s concerned mother has suddenly vanished from her life. And a new friend seems to be keeping secrets from her too. Now, reality is waiting for Veronica in a dark place—because someone’s mind games have only just begun.

Made my commute enjoyable!

I liked this book quite a lot.
The positives are: (1) the twists and turns kept me interested; (2) the ending surprised me because I had a feeling about where it was going so I liked the unexpected twist; (3) the narrator’s voice is soothing and easy to listen to; and (4) the author’s description of the characters’ movements and personalities presented a clear picture of each.
The only negative I can articulate without spoiling the end is that there were a couple of minor confusing lack of tie-ups that left me with questions. I wanted a little more explanation about the protagonist Victoria’s mental state. We’ll leave it at that. All in all, I highly recommend this Audible book.

I was such an incredible book I'm glad that I went with my gut and listen to it as this wasn't my normal type of book

A fantastic story!

A great story. A page-turner with lots of twists and turns, sad but also inspiring for all and especially for women suffering with post partum depression and mothers who have lost a child. A must-read!

Mixed Feelings...Sometimes Great, Sometimes Ehhh

The different paces of this book made my head spin. It wasn't too difficult to figure out what was happening here. I felt for the main character and tried to imagine being that sick. Everything came together at the end and was about as happy as you could get for a story with so much sadness.

GREAT, LOVED IT !!!

I loved it, couldn't stop listening to it in 2 day
I finished it. will listen to it again.!
