Publisher's Summary

Winner, Earphones Award 2020

Five long-missing children are about to be returned.

It was summer in the mountains when five small children vanished from their nursery school picnic. The heat was stifling that day, the tinkle of an ice-cream van in the air....

Three-and-a-half years later, in the dead of winter, the children are returned to their families...one by one.

All except for Ivy - the granddaughter of Homicide Detective Kate Wakeland. The other four children say Ivy is dead.

Speculation grows that the mysterious abductor is enacting a cruel revenge plot due to a murderer that Kate put in jail years before.

Kate isn't sure what to believe. But one thing is certain - she's about to begin the battle of her life. When the children were first stolen, she was prevented from investigating the case.

But now, Kate will be relentless in uncovering the identity of the abductor and discovering what happened to Ivy.

Good read

This was a good book but had a slow start.. once you get over that its really good. Once you get to the end the beginning makes more sense. Narrator did a great job.

Fantastic

Anni has done it again! I read the first of her books as a free read with audible unlimited and was hooked! This one was worth my credit! Ready for book 2!

Great book great author

It took me a while to get used to the narrator and I’m left wondering about something at the end. It all really doesn’t make total sense to me why the whole story happened and yet I loved the book. It was intriguing and good character development. I plan on reading the second one in this series.

Enjoyable

I like this author. I have read a couple of her books now, and I have enjoyed each one of them. I found the narrator on this book a little harder to listen to the Australian accent for the younger Australians was a bit annoying. But overall story was great

Kept me guessing!

Until the reveal, I really had no clue what or who had happened. Very well-written. A great listen!

A great yarn

A wonderful winding story with twists and turns. I always love Caroline Lee’s narration and the time taken for good character development. Enjoyed every minute and will definitely read the next two in the series.

The whole story was amazing.

I liked everything about this book. Kept me on my seat! I’d sit in my car once I got to my destination and listen until the chapter ended.
