About this listen
From a master of suspense comes a chilling novel that explores the dangers lurking closer than you think. Because even in the perfect family, you never know what is going on behind closed doors….
This is what happened… It was a case guaranteed to spark a media feeding frenzy—a young mother, blond and pretty, disappears without a trace from her South Boston home, leaving behind her four-year-old daughter as the only witness and her handsome, secretive husband as the prime suspect. In the last six hours…
But from the moment Detective Sergeant D. D. Warren arrives at the Joneses’ snug little bungalow, she senses something off about the picture of wholesome normality the couple worked so hard to create. On the surface, Jason and Sandra Jones are like any other hardworking young couple raising a four-year-old child. But it is just under the surface that things grew murky. Of the world as I knew it….
With the clock ticking on the life of a missing woman and the media firestorm building, Jason Jones seems more intent on destroying evidence and isolating his daughter than on searching for his “beloved” wife. Is the perfect husband trying to hide his guilt—or just trying to hide? And will the only witness to the crime be the killer’s next victim?

Frankie Elkin is an average middle-aged woman, a recovering alcoholic with more regrets than belongings. But she spends her life doing what no one else will - searching for missing people the world has stopped looking for.

A new case brings her to Mattapan, a Boston neighborhood with a rough reputation. She is searching for Angelique Badeau, a Haitian teenager who vanished from her high school months earlier.

Great Mystery-Thriller. Oddly Upbeat Style.
Lisa Gardner offers an attention-grabbing plot about a young woman disappearing from intriguingly suspicious environs. Sandra Jones is a markedly promiscuous wife with a tragic past, her husband Jason Jones is uncooperative and hiding *something*, and 23-year-old neighbor Aiden Brewster is a registered sex-offender stuck on denying his urges. Gardner does an excellent job drip-drip-dripping revelations, providing brilliant pacing, and leading readers through a capably-described intuitive police investigation with plenty of suspects and a believable (but hard-to-predict) conclusion.
Less fortunately, the tone among investigators is incongruously light-hearted for some reason (given the severity of the crimes), and the inner dialogues of the characters are bafflingly matter-of-fact ("OF COURSE I take off for a few days of anonymous threesomes behind my husband's back every few months.. doesn't everyone?")
The use of three narrators (Kristen Potter handling most of the narration; Emily Janice Card reading from Sandra Jones's perspective; and Kirby Heyborne doing the Aiden Brewster parts) is occasionally jarring - but Random House Audio correctly determined that changing narrators would help listeners to follow the frequent transitions in POV in the text. All three readers are undeniably professional and given exemplary technical support.
Altogether, this is a 9/10-star episode in the 'D.D.Warren/Flora Danes' series of Boston-based mysteries - by no means Lisa Gardner's best - but thought-provoking and entertaining. Can recommend.
