Has Anyone Seen Charlotte Salter?

The unforgettable thriller from bestselling author Nicci French - 'One of their very best' (Observer)

De: Nicci French

Narrado por: Jane Collingwood

She’s loved by all who meet her

But someone wants her gone…

Alec Salter doesn’t seem worried when his wife, Charlotte, fails to attend his 50th birthday party and, with most of their small village in attendance, it’s hours before anyone realises she’s missing. As the days pass and still no sight, Charlotte’s daughter, Etty, and her sons, Niall, Paul and Ollie, all struggle to understand her disappearance. Left in limbo with no answers, the Salter children try and go on with their lives, all the while suspecting their mother’s potential killer could be very close to home.

Thirty years later, Etty helps move Alec, stricken with dementia, into an elder care facility. But when her childhood friends, Greg and Morgan Ackerley, start a surprisingly popular true crime podcast investigating Charlotte’s presumed death, the town’s buried secrets – and the Salters’ – might finally come to light.

With the podcast turning the case into national news, Inspector Maud O’Connor is dispatched to investigate. Frustrated by the sexism and incompetence of her colleagues, Maud will stop at nothing to uncover the terrible truth of what really happened to Charlotte Salter.

A nerve-tingling and atmospheric thriller from master of suspense Nicci French about families shattered by tragedy and the secrets that have been waiting decades to be revealed.

Reseñas de la Crítica

‘Classic Nicci French: an unputdownable missing-persons thriller that’s also a searing examination of family, memory and grief. A big-skied, full-blooded, broken-hearted book’ Erin Kelly

'As well as a fantastic mystery, Nicci French has written a powerful, moving and wise story about the damage that loss does to families, with characters you can’t forget. I loved it' Jo Callaghan

‘One of their very best. Compelling, moving and beautifully written, it’s about how real people are affected by (and driven to) murder . . . Throw in a brilliantly cool London detective, Maud, and you have an absolute winner’ The Observer

‘Fans of the husband and wife writing team, Sean French and Nicci Gerrard, will need no encouragement to seize on this latest example of their rare talent. It’s their 25th crime collaboration since 1997 and shows off their exceptional skills as storytellers . . . The French magic is at work again’ Daily Mail

‘Gripping and twisty’ Heat

‘This is classic, heart-breaking Nicci French’ My Weekly

'Gripping' Crime Monthly

‘It’s another spine-tingling thriller from husband-and-wife team Nicci French’ Woman & Home

‘Another page-turner from the husband-and-wife team Nicci Gerrard and Sean French – a writing duo at the top of their game’ Saga

Slow to start, but stick with it.

A slow burner. I confess to being a bit bored by the long set up but it really picks up as the setting moves into the current day. The characters are not always easy to like but they are mostly well fleshed out and I especially liked detective Maude. Would love to see more of her in future books.

Narration was excellent!
