Publisher's summary

Gripping suspense from the author of Little White Lies

Keep your family close, and your secrets closer...

To the outside world, the Goodlights are perfect.

Julia is a lawyer, Paul a stay-at-home dad who has dedicated his life to helping their daughter Chrissie achieve her dreams as a talented violinist.

But on the night of a prestigious music competition, which has the power to change everything for Chrissie and her family, Chrissie goes missing.

She puts on the performance of a lifetime, then completely disappears. Suddenly every single crack, every single secret that the family is hiding risks being exposed.

Because the Goodlights aren’t perfect. Not even close.

Critic reviews

"A tense, cat and mouse tale of a missing girl. Cleverly written, with many layers—a compelling read." (Catherine Cooper, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Chateau)

"Brilliantly unsettling, with characters so deftly woven that you never quite know who—if anyone—you can trust." (Guy Morpuss, author of Black Lake Manor)

"Wow! What a book! I couldn't read it fast enough. The tension and pace were absolute magic." (Lauren North, author of All the Wicked Games)

Fast-Paced Thriller

Loved this story from start to finish! Kept me guessing and captivated until the end. Paul and Julia’s secrets are slowly unraveled through a unique format - starting with Julia now and Paul in the past and then reversing the timeline. Highly recommend!

Did not draw me in

I could not get into this book at all. I even tried restarting it to see if I’d missed something. I gave up after a few chapters on my second try.

So drawn out..

Paul was a horrible father with zero repercussions. It felt like it was such a build up for something so anticlimactic. Was really hoping to find a new author I liked.

Way too long

I just wanted it to end. I didn't think any of the plotlines were satisfying.

Not for me

Overall this wasn’t for me. The story didn’t really hang together, it was all over the place, and the only character I liked was the dog.

Ugh … don’t bother

I’m struggling to find anything positive to say about this book. There is really nothing that makes sense with the story at all. None of the characters are particularly likeable and there is nothing about them that makes you want to care about the outcome of the story.

Don’t waste your credit.

No thank you

This book was really bad to listen to and the story was quite disjointed mildly creepy but in a gary glitter way not a psychological thriller way. I tried to return it because I’m so disappointed using up a credit on such drivel.
