🇳🇱:
Ik kreeg deze ARC audiobook toegestuurd & ik heb hem in 1 zitting uitgeluisterd .. het was echt zo goed !
Ze mogen wel trigger warnings in het begin van het boek zetten aangezien er thema’s als pedofilie , verkrachting, en kindermishandeling aan bod komen & dit niet wordt vermeld in het boek voorin of op de achterkant .

Ik raad dit boek 100% aan om op je tbr lijst te zetten volgende maand 😊

First, I loved the cover art, it's gorgeous. It's the main reason I read this book.
For the actual book, it had a lot of issues. I figured out the major twists about 30% in to the book. It was very obvious.
The author tried to include way too many hot topics. Rape, pedophilia, racism, sexism, drunk driving, homophobia, and on and on. It got annoying really fast.
The narrator used an overly young voice for the kidnapped child. It wasn't clear enough that she had aged quite a bit. I won't say too much as it will give some of the twist away.
One last thing, the author repeats words quite a bit, and the way she portrayed the main character was a tad immature and selfish, which didn't fit the persona of her profession.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this ARC.
I'm sorry I didn't like it.

Blurb

A missing five-year-old girl is the key to unlocking a detective’s terrifying past…

When Detective Billie Ann Wilde receives a desperate call that five-year-old Emma Wilson is missing, she rushes to the family home. But inside the picture-perfect house surrounded by Florida marshlands, she finds no children’s clothes or toys, no photos of the innocent child Emma’s mother Marissa describes. Billie suspects Marissa Wilson is hiding from someone.

It’s a race against the clock to find Emma. But Marissa refuses to tell Billie anything about her past, and before long, she also disappears…

And then Billie realizes who Marissa is.

She’s the ten-year old girl Billie failed to find in her first ever case fourteen years ago. The leads went cold because Billie made a fatal mistake.

As more bodies turn up in the same marshlands, Billie must revisit her past and face up to her demons to find Marissa and her child. But she is unknowingly putting herself in the path of a terrifying serial killer…

My Opinion

I listened to this audiobook in one sitting. This was a thrilling book that had me guessing from the very beginning. A very exciting story and for me this was a great introduction to Willow Rose. With some short chapters, this book was really easy to keep reading.

Rating 4/5
