“Told from four perspectives, this audio provides listeners with fragments of the mystery through the eyes of Phil (Jeff's childhood friend), Jeff, Dan, and Jane herself. Each member of the quartet of narrators—David de Vries, Joyce Bean, Patrick Lawlor, and Scott Merriman—performs a different point-of-view, taking the production to a higher level and capturing the essence of the characters over a 40-year timespan. [T]heir collective performances transport listeners into the minds of each character. Most notable are Bean's portrayal of Jane and Lawlor's of Dan. The use of multiple narrators enhances Landay's (Defending Jacob) latest and will have listeners fully invested in Jane's story. A production well worth the listen.”—Library Journal

“This is an example of a great story with narrators who understand their characters and who portray them beautifully. The unique aspect of the story—and an added challenge for the narrators—is that multiple first-person perspectives are used. A woman is missing, and suspicion is cast on her husband. The family is split over his innocence. The emotions that come with this horrific situation are clearly embraced by the quartet of narrators. Frustration and anger boil over. Sarcasm seeps in. Each of the three children is a different person with their own baggage, and the narration captures them all while alternating between time frames. A detective with an appropriate New England accent is particularly well done. The book is riveting, the narrators carry the pace, and the twists are well supported yet surprising.”—AudioFIle Magazine

“The story is told in four parts and the different narrators add psychological suspense to the intricately plotted storyline.… The open-ended conclusion is thought-provoking, encouraging listeners to consider the nature of parental and familial relationships. Readers of Oyinkan Braithwaite and Mary Kubica will enjoy the tonal quality and unique characterizations. As the narrators change, so do the characters' perceptions of each other, giving the listener a multifaceted experience of this moving family saga.”—Booklist
