Publisher's Summary

It's a blindingly hot summer. International visitors surge into Sydney's Darling Harbour. Two-year-old Tommy is sailing his toy boat in the park there with his mother Phoebe. Tommy vanishes into thin air. The following winter, taunting notes written as nursery rhymes begin arriving at his parents' home.

Little Boy Blue, where did you go? Who led you away? Only I know...

The police believe the messages are just a cruel prank. But Phoebe becomes obsessed with tracking down the writer of the rhymes. Her marriage ends up shattering.

When the shocking identity of the writer is discovered, Phoebe's desperate race for the truth has only just begun.

ANNI TAYLOR lives on The Central Coast, north of Sydney, Australia, with her partner and four boys. Her thriller novels include Stranger in the Woods, Birds in Flight and Poison Orchids.

Suspenseful twists and turns.

This story kept me on edge never anticipating it would turn out the way it did always imagining who and what the answer but it all changed to an unexpected ending. Very good listen. I couldn’t stop listening the story in one day.

Felt Attached to the Characters

Character development throughout made me feel attached to the characters, you feel like you really know them. I enjoyed the narration as well. Long book but didn’t feel too much!

Very good read for a murder mystery! I enjoyed the story and the performance.

The characters were decently developed, the twists and turns were well paced and surprising, and it was an overall very good read.

Long!

Well written. Great character development and storyline. It could have wrapped up 10 chapters earlier. I kinda forgot the beginning by the end. A good mystery
