Story4.5 out of 5 stars 126
The people who call End of the Line need hope. They need reassurance that life is worth living. But some are unlucky enough to get through to Laura. Laura doesn’t want them to hope. She wants them to die. Laura hasn’t had it easy: she's survived sickness and a difficult marriage only to find herself heading for forty, unsettled and angry. She doesn't love talking to people worse off than she is. She craves it. But now someone’s on to her - Ryan, whose world falls apart when his pregnant wife ends her life, hand in hand with a stranger.

Story4 out of 5 stars 287
When six-year-old Olivia Adams disappeared from her back garden, the small community of Stoneridge was thrown into turmoil. How could a child vanish in the middle of a cozy English village? Thirteen years on and Olivia is back. Her mother is convinced it's her but not everyone is sure. If this is the missing girl, then where has she been - and what happened to her on that sunny afternoon? If she's an imposter, then who would be bold enough to try to fool a child's own mother - and why?

The community along Oregon's Deschutes River is one of successful careers and perfect families. For years, up-and-comers Liz and Owen have admired their good friends and neighbors, Carole and David. They appear to have it all—security, happiness, and a beautiful young son, Charlie. Then Charlie vanishes without a trace, and all that seemed safe is shattered by a tragedy that is incomprehensible—except to Liz. It took one fleeting moment for her to change the lives of everyone she loves—a heartrending accident that can't be undone.

Jane’s days at a Midwest insurance company are perfectly ordinary. She blends in well, unremarkably pretty and extra efficient. She’s just the kind of woman middle manager Steven Hepsworth likes - meek, insecure, and willing to defer to a man. No one has any idea who Jane really is. Least of all Steven. But plain Jane is hiding something. Nothing can distract Jane from going straight for his heart: allowing herself to be seduced into Steven’s bed, to insinuate herself into his career and his family, and to expose all his dirty secrets. So she can take it all away. Just as he did to her.

Publisher's Summary
All she wanted was the truth, but she'll wish she never found out.
When Catherine wakes up alone one morning, she thinks her husband has gone for a run before work. But Simon never makes it to the office. His running shoes are by the front door. Nothing is missing - except him.
Catherine knows Simon must be in trouble. He wouldn't just leave her. He wouldn't leave the children.
But Simon knows the truth - about why he left and what he's done. He knows things about his marriage that it would kill Catherine to find out. The memories she holds onto are lies.
While Catherine faces a dark new reality at home, Simon's halfway around the world, alive and thriving. He's doing whatever it takes to stay one step ahead of the truth.
But he can't hide forever, and when he reappears twenty-five years later, Catherine will finally learn who he is.
And wish she'd stayed in the dark.

This novel has issues!
When You Disappeared could have been a great novel if a competent author had taken the plot concept and written the novel. it is still a marginally good psychological thriller. The story is told in the first person of the female protagonist and the male antagonist with Elizabeth Knowelden reading the female part very well and Simon Mattacks reading the male part not so well. My main issue with the novel is that it is so chopped up that it's difficult for the listener to keep pace as the novel goes back and forth constantly over a 28 year time period. The novel hits the time periods in seemingly random order.
Summary: Great plot concept with poor implementation due to dizzyingly frequent skips back and forth over 28 years; poor narration by the male narrator.

I BEG YOU NOT TO!
Oh so bad. Not a mystery. Not a thriller. No likable characters. Not even interesting to the normally competent narrators whose performances get
less energetic as the novel drags its way to the ending. Simply a boring and "who-cares" story covering 25 wholly uninteresting years of a bland and cliched couple's life. I beg you NOT to purchasing this audiobook; just check out other novels that are hopefully not as mis-catagorized as this one was. Or re-read a good book you've previously read -- it will certainly be better time spent than "When You Disappeared".

Wow- I Was Not Prepared for This
There are very few bright/ happy spots in this novel. So if you're looking for a HEA- you won't find one here. I was hooked until the end, but wanted to take a shower afterwards. I would like to say most of the male lead characters actions are nonsensical and immature but they go to show how far assumptions, disillusionment and unresolved childhood trauma can take one.

When You Disappeared by Ohn Marris
Always tell the truth, always before the lies are as difficult to discover as they are in When You Disappeared. Ah what an awesome novel this will keep you rivited to whereevre you are when you begin listening. So stock up on tissue paper, ice cream, chocolate or beer or wine or potato chips. You will need the comfort food.

Simon is one sick individual
I thoroughly disliked Simon so the author did his job well. Although the book reads like a memoir I was hooked. I had to find out what Kitty had done to send this man into a downward spiral. All I can say is wow. Secrets and insecurities and the lack of communication and the misguided notion of perfection destroyed a family.

Exceptional
I rarely give 5 star reviews but this book is so worth one. I listened to the book in one day as it was so enthralling. Yes, parts are a little far fetched but this is fiction after all.
some parts are pretty uncomfortable listening but overall one of the best I've had so far, definitely looking at future books by the author.

dark. shocking. enthralling.
what a story. each time when I thought I knew the characters I was proved wrong. this is a great story. unique, well narrated. couldn't stop listening. it stayed with me for a long time, how wrong people can be and how stupid men are.

This is one of the best I’ve listened to in a good while, gripping right to the end.

Buy this!
Where does When You Disappeared rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I LOVED this book - one of the top three I've listened to on Audible and I've listened to a lot!
What did you like best about this story?
The plot - excellent writing and story - the male character, oh I didn't like him at all. If someone can make you love or loathe their characters then they are a good writer.
Which character – as performed by Simon Mattacks and Elizabeth Knowelden – was your favourite?
I can't decide! I really was on her side but his character is so compelling and I had a love/hate relationship with the male character.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It didn't make me cry but I did feel emotional.
Any additional comments?
I have never left a review before but this book really is excellent. I have and will recommend to my friends.

Twist and turns.. Couldn't put it down. Brilliant
I loved the way it twist and turns over and over and how my emotions changed for each character as the truth unfolds

Disappointed!
Would you consider the audio edition of When You Disappeared to be better than the print version?
Unlikely - see comments below on the narrators.
What did you like best about this story?
The parallel accounts.
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Elizabeth Knowelden and Simon Mattacks ?
I don't know but the male had the accent so, SO wrong it really ruined my enjoyment of what might have been a more enjoyable listen. The female narrator, with a ‘neutral’ accent was better but still wrong for the region of the setting, Northampton!
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
There were some unnecessary coincidences that moved me to despair! For example, that Catherine happened to have a bottle of Simon’s wine and the friendship of the half brothers – both unnecessary for the story.

After his mysterious disappearance 25 years before, he returns to unburden himself on his former wife
Firstly, I found this story depressing as hell...very English.
This man returns after having run away from his family 25 years before to tell his former wife, whom he blames, why he left.
What he ends up with is a revelation to his stupidity.
Very well written, this is not just his story, but the story of those he left behind.

editor needed
a good story with a twist that became more inevitable the closer i got to the end. a clever story spoiled by the lack of some good editing and by appalling grammar. The use of 'simon and i's ' for 'our' or 'simon's and my' at least three rimea made my hair stand on end.

Nothing special
The book was a little diificult to follow at times as it jumped around to so many different times and locations. I found the ending very unsatisfying too.
