Publisher's summary

Headstrong journalist Anna Rothman knows what suicide looks like - her own husband killed himself five years ago. When Elly Swift, an agitated passenger beside her on a train, leaves a locket in Anna's bag before jumping onto the tracks, Anna starts asking questions. But everything points to suicide and the police close the case.

However, Anna believes that Elly's fears for Toby, her young nephew who was snatched from St. Stephen's church six months ago, fail to explain the true reason behind Elly's distress. Through a series of hidden messages Elly left behind, Anna embarks on a dangerous crusade to track down Toby and find Elly's killer.

But nothing is as it seems and Anna opens a can of worms that throws into question even her own husband's suicide - before the threads of the mystery converge in an astonishing conclusion.

Great plot twists, not so great narration.

About the Audiobook:
The narration was a bit off. You could hear when the recording changed from one take to another. Also it felt a bit flat. It bothered me and affected my experience at the beginning. However, I got used to it after a while.

About the plot:
I have to admit that I didn't expect to get hook as much as I did. The first half was okay, but then the plot twists came and found myself rooting for Elly and Anna more than I thought I would. Great ending.

Excellent, unexpected plot twist!

I really enjoyed this. I see some reviews saying it's not THE book, but I disagree. This book is just as good, writing is really easy and the pace is well thought out. Narration is a little fast, bust she still does a great job. I will watch for more from this author!

Great Narration of an Expected Mystery

This was okay. A lot of aspects were predictable. The main character is kind of annoying. I found myself drifting off during descriptive scenes. It might scratch an itch, but it's not groundbreaking.

nice read, lots of connections

A intriguing story of connections and determination. Not taking the status quo for an answer. The story flows well and keeps you wondering about the person's true mental state.
