Welcome to Stanhope. A safe neighborhood. A place for families.

William Wooler is a family man, on the surface. But he’s been having an affair, an affair that ended horribly this afternoon at a motel up the road. So when he returns to his house, devastated and angry, to find his difficult nine-year-old daughter, Avery, unexpectedly home from school, William loses his temper.

Hours later, Avery’s family declares her missing.

Suddenly Stanhope doesn’t feel so safe. And William isn’t the only one on his street who’s hiding a lie. As witnesses come forward with information that may or may not be true, Avery's neighbors become increasingly unhinged.

Who took Avery Wooler?

Nothing will prepare you for the truth.

Outstanding! Loved it!

Original story gripped me from the very start. Couldn't stop listening. Narration was spot on!

A 9 year old isn’t that smart 🤷🏻‍♀️

I thought this was pretty unbelievable and very predictable. I pretty much guessed how it would end a few chapters in. Don’t waste your time.

Unbelievable tale

This could have been a great story had the child involved not been 9. No 9 year old would have the discernment, language skills, and situational awareness that this kid had. She’s a spoiled brat and I had hoped to learn how the true story of her “kidnapping” came out but the author decided to just end the story with a cliffhanger as if I would waste more time and money reading a sequel. No thanks.

Couldn’t stop listening

So many twists and turns. I didn’t want to turn the story off. So good!

Just not entertaining

The story was boring . Not realistic . Just completely bored the entire story. I feel the author tried to bring in character after character
