A missing daughter, a family with secrets, a race for the truth....

At a truck stop near Las Vegas, 14-year-old Riley Jarrett vanishes from her family’s RV, turning their cross-country dream of starting over into a nightmare.

Investigators have their work cut out for them. The massive, bustling truck plaza in the desert is the perfect place for someone to disappear - or be taken.

Detectives pursue every chilling lead as all eyes fall to the newly blended family with a tragic past. With the clock ticking down on the likelihood that Riley’s alive, suspicions run deep. Everyone - from Riley’s mom to her stepdad to her stepbrother and her ex-boyfriend - has something to hide. And their secrets could prove deadly.

Emotional roller coaster

This book was another amazing read from Rick Mofina! Emotional roller coaster of events. 10/10!!!

Interesting story

I think the book was well written and interesting. For me, it was the narrator who was unappealing. She was horrible at the male voice reading and many times the book sounded like a hallmark movie.

What a Ride!

This novel captivated me from the very first few pages when the family went on a road trip and discovered their teenager was accidentally left behind at a truck stop! One thing right after another happened and I could not stop listening. Where was Riley and did the family know more than they were letting on? Narration was great.
I definitely did not anticipate the outcome! Highly recommend!

Great w riting!Great characters!

I am horrible at writing reviews. I loved the book. I hope you will give it a try.

Intriguing characters

Liked the multiple people who could have kidnapped the teen age girl. Many twists and turns and a surprise ending. Well written and hard to put down.

Takes a while to get going; narrator sucks!

If you can make it thru the first 24 chapters (90+ total) you'll enjoy this one. The story doesn't seem to go anywhere until chapter 25; even though I'd figured out the plot line in about chapter 2!

Additionally, the narrator's mind-numbing, plodding, monotone interpretation of the lead male detective (and other male characters) left me contemplating smashing my head against the wall! It wasn't until I increased the playback speed to 130% that I could stand to continue listening.

Gotta say that I was suspicious, but never really saw the ending coming. Nice twist.

More predictable and lack luster narration

After listening to the whole Reed-Sydowski series, written years ago by Mofina, I was excited to buy credits and listen to one more, especially since it was placed in San Diego, where I live. I appreciate Mofina’s inclusion of local neighborhoods, streets and landmarks on his But this book….I finished it but having serious issues with the plot being somewhat predictable and yet giving us that delightful run around (I do like red herrings, believe me, but not when I already know who the culprit is.)
And the narration was inconsistent (especially when the dialogues a involved many voices,) and just didn’t do it for me. The mothers voice was particularly annoying (the intonation, the dramatics.)

I’ll try other RM books, hoping that they lean more towards the Reed-Syd series.

Hmm

The fact that it’s a true story makes it better. I didn’t know that part. It was just so long and drawn out that it got boring. The narrator is the best part of the book. For all those saying she isn’t good??? She is.

Excellent!!

Loved this story... so many twists and turns. Excellent writing and performance. A real page turner

Good listen!

Wow! This was a complicated story that had many twists and turns. I loved it. Kept me very intrigued and interested. Highly recommend!
