About This Audiobook
Sandra Jones, a young schoolteacher and mother in Boston, vanishes overnight, leaving behind a four-year-old daughter and a husband whose behavior under investigation becomes more suspicious with every conversation. Detective D.D. Warren leads the case with her characteristic intensity, finding that every answer she uncovers generates new questions about who Sandra Jones actually was and what she was hiding. Lisa Gardner's third D.D. Warren novel is a tightly constructed domestic thriller with genuine surprises.
The multi-narrator cast, including Emily Janice Card, Kirby Heyborne, and Kirsten Potter, gives each perspective its own distinct register, reflecting the novel's multiple points of view without sacrificing narrative coherence. The ITW Thriller Award reflects a domestic thriller that delivers authentic procedural detail alongside its psychological complexity. Listeners who favor suspense rooted in family secrets and unreliable testimony will find this particularly absorbing.
