Publisher's Summary

This morning, my daughter sat right here, munching her breakfast, too excited to finish it. Now, she is missing.

The day after her ninth birthday, Lucie and Blake Sullivan agree, for the very first time, to let their daughter, Grace, make the four-minute walk back home alone from a friend’s house just down the street. 

They joke with friends about hiding behind bushes to ensure she is safe. But the joke turns sour when Grace does not appear. 

Despite the best efforts of the police and local community, Grace seems to have vanished into thin air. With hope fading fast, Lucie knows she can rely on her husband to support her through such dark times. That is until the day she makes a shocking discovery, hidden in Blake’s desk, and suddenly she begins to doubt everything she knew about the man she married.  

But Lucie harbours a terrible secret of her own. One that she has never shared with anyone, even Blake.... 

And as the search for Grace reaches fever pitch, Lucie receives a terrifying message. If she is ever to see Grace again, Lucie has no choice but to face the past she tried hard to bury forever. And she must do it alone. 

The most gripping psychological thriller you’ll listen to this year from the best-selling author K.L. Slater. If you love The Wife Between Us or Gone Girl, you’ll be totally hooked on Finding Grace.

Great story!

I really enjoyed the story! I had just had to keep listening to find out what happened in the end. I did guess one of the twists but most of them were a mystery right up until they were revealed. The narrator was quite good, a few of the female voices sounded a bit similar but I certainly enjoyed the narration all the same.

Fast and entertaining

My first book by this author and it won’t be my last, after all I had purchased 13 books based on the blurb. Yeah.., silly me.

This book started very well.
It was so engaging that I read it in one sitting.
I enjoyed the writing and the book structure, although I wished that there were more than one POV.
The storyline is good, but a bit far-fetched, so take it as it is, a work of fiction.
The conclusion felt rushed, but then this book is not that big. It is definitely a fast read and I wasn’t bored at any moment. Unfortunately I did not feel the thrill that was promised.
I don’t like small coincidences or scenes where the villain feels the need to explain why it had to happen. But that’s me.
Overall it was a very easy and very entertaining read.

Yes, It's Formulaic..

..but the formula *works*.
You know what you're going to get with a K.L. Slater Psychological Suspense Thriller: a story revealed in multiple timelines from multiple perspectives; dysfunctional characters - even the sympathetic ones - verging on the pathological; and a friend/lover/colleague "unexpectedly" revealed as a secretive villain motivated by revenge for a past trauma. It can get annoyingly stereotypical.
Fortunately, however, Slater is good at it. The writing is capable (if unspectacular - the author isn't going to win any awards any time soon), the plot twists/revelations are paced beautifully (never boring and the drip-drip-drip technique renews interest frequently), and the voyeuristic pleasure a reader/listener gets from watching her well-written examples of human disasters is guiltily delicious (like "rubbernecking" at an accident).
If you can get past the moderate predictability, these stories are most enjoyable.

The outstanding narration by Lucy Price-Lewis definitely improves my opinion of Slater books in general, and this one in particular. In this offering, her spot-on diction, timbre, and cadence are matched with pitch-perfect tonality and impressive voice-acting. Given a choice between a text version of 'Finding Grace' and this audiobook iteration.. choose this one.

Altogether, the recording rates 7 stars out of 10 - despite the book being one of Slater's weaker efforts. If you can get it (as I did) included with your subscription, you should absolutely do so. If Audible asks for a Credit, it may still be worth it for you if you can ignore the cookie-cutter execution/conclusion. Either way, you're not crazy.

[Note: the ubiquity of cell phones among 1990s University kids is a strikingly ludicrous plot element. It's a little hard to swallow]

Meh

This just felt so dragged out and the dad drama was so random. I didn’t expect the ending, I’ll give you that. I just wasn’t really into this book, the main character bothered me.

Just OK

This one was not as good as her usual books. Found it a bit choppy and not put together well. Her jumping from present to past just wasn’t a smooth as usual.

Not the best book from this author

There are far more detailed reviews already posted, so I’ll keep it short. If you get this for free with your subscription, you might give this book a try, otherwise, don’t waste credits. Even if you like this author, it’s not her strongest work.
