About this listen
Charlie Donlea, one of the most original new voices in suspense, returns with a haunting novel, laden with twists and high tension, about two abducted girls - one who returns, one who doesn't - and the forensics expert searching for answers.
Nicole Cutty and Megan McDonald are both high school seniors in the small town of Emerson Bay, North Carolina. When they disappear from a beach party one warm summer night, police launch a massive search. No clues are found, and hope is almost lost until Megan miraculously surfaces after escaping from a bunker deep in the woods. A year later the best-selling account of her ordeal has turned Megan from local hero to national celebrity. It's a triumphant, inspiring story except for one inconvenient detail: Nicole is still missing.
Nicole's older sister, Livia, a fellow in forensic pathology, expects that one day soon Nicole's body will be found, and it will be up to someone like Livia to analyze the evidence and finally determine her sister's fate. Instead the first clue to Nicole's disappearance comes from another body that shows up in Livia's morgue - that of a young man connected to Nicole's past. Livia reaches out to Megan for help, hoping to learn more about the night the two were taken. Other girls have gone missing, too, and Livia is increasingly certain the cases are connected. But Megan knows more than she revealed in her blockbuster book. Flashes of memory are coming together, pointing to something darker and more monstrous than her chilling memoir describes. And the deeper she and Livia dig, the more they realize that sometimes true terror lies in finding exactly what you've been looking for.

The girl who was taken
This book was interesting. I never guessed or even had a clue to who the killer was until it was said. Good read

good, but the killer was too easy to figure out
this book was good but didn't have to be this long. To be honest.
I guessed who the ultimate culprit was right away from the moment she escaped the bunker. It was just too easy but it took so many chapters to do the final reveal. And I thought that was a little long-winded.
It really wasn't hard to guess the culprit. Think about it, she's in a bunker all by herself. She's not handcuffed, she's not shackled, she's not injured, she only has a burlap sack on her head, and the door to the bunker is open. as she's running through the woods, no one is chasing her, she just assumes somebody's coming, but no one chases her, and then within a year. Still, no one tries to rekidnap her when she writes a book. And then she's on TV, still no one comes after her. Those are all ginormous hints. What kidnapper/killer would take a girl, hold her for 2 weeks but Not touch her, not injure her. Feed her, and then just let her go?
I was okay with the flashbacks to 2016. Because they cemented my guess as to who the culprit was, but fewer would have been better.
