Story
Marianne has a life others dream of. A beautiful townhouse on the best street in the neighbourhood. Three bright children who are her pride and joy. Sometimes her past still hurts: losing her mother early, growing up in foster care. But her husband, Simon, is always there. A successful surgeon, he’s the envy of every woman they’ve ever met. Flowers, gifts, trips to France: nothing is too good for his family. Then Simon says another woman’s name. The way he lingers on it, Caroline, gives Marianne a shudder of suspicion, but she knows it’s nothing - she can’t entertain this flash of paranoia.

There are two sides to every story: yours and mine, ours and theirs, his and hers. Which means someone is always lying. When a woman is murdered in Blackdown, a quintessentially British village, newsreader Anna Andrews is reluctant to cover the case. Detective Jack Harper is suspicious of her involvement, until he becomes a suspect in his own murder investigation. Someone isn’t telling the truth, and some secrets are worth killing to keep.

Jeannette Walls grew up with parents whose ideals and stubborn nonconformity were both their curse and their salvation. Rex and Rose Mary Walls had four children. In the beginning, they lived like nomads, moving among Southwest desert towns, camping in the mountains. Rex was a charismatic, brilliant man who, when sober, captured his children's imagination. Rose Mary painted and wrote and couldn't stand the responsibility of providing for her family; she called herself an "excitement addict."

Story
This is not the happy family you think. The fire crackles, my son smiles, the man jokes whilst I pour drinks. But my husband has disappeared. The man is a stranger. My skin crawls every time he brushes my hand. He says if I don’t play along, he has photos that will destroy my family. What happened the night before my husband disappeared - the night I don’t remember?
Written by: Samantha Hayes
Publisher's Summary
“Then She Vanishes lifts the stone on a cold case disappearance and asks chilling questions about friendship, loyalty, love, and obsession.” (New York Times best-selling author Gilly Macmillan)
A twisty, compulsive thriller full of jolting shocks and startling secrets involving two sisters, a disappearance, a double murder, and a reporter determined to find the truth from the best-selling author of Local Girl Missing, Last Seen Alive, and Do Not Disturb.
Everything changed the night she disappeared....
On a summer's night in 1994, 16-year-old Flora Powell vanished from her sleepy seaside town without a trace. Their hearts shattered, Flora’s mother, her sister Heather, and Heather’s best friend Jess had to somehow carry on not knowing what happened.
Twenty-five years later, tragedy strikes again when Heather walks into a stranger's house and allegedly kills two people in cold blood.
Why would this loving wife and doting new mother commit such a heinous crime? Jess, now a reporter, returns to the hometown she left behind to cover the case and dig for answers. But this isn’t like any other story. Jess was like a sister to the Powell girls, until the summer that tore them all apart.
What happened to the girl she used to know?
The question haunts Jess and propels her to find the key that may unlock the mysteries involving both sisters. But the search may reveal more...a darker side to this idyllic place she thought she knew.

Very good read
So many interwoven things that all fit together nicely and played out well. Narrator was easy to listen to and the story never stalled. No ridiculous unnecessary twist at the end, just this book with its own surprises. Recommend as a good read!

Very, Very Good
I am a huge fan of Claire Douglas.
I own and have read everything she’s written.
This is an excellent book with all the right ingredients: interesting and thoroughly developed characters, a really good story with its own backstory, and as with all of her books there is a total development of the location, the atmosphere, the people, the town, etc.
She knows how to leave no stone unturned.
It’s not my favorite (she’s an exceptional author but my personal favorite is Local Girl Missing)
But it’s still a phenomenal listen and it’s performed exceptionally well.
You will truly enjoy this book.
It’s a true mystery, the characters are extremely well developed and you will be stunned by the ending.
This is one of my favorite things about her writing.
She always treats her endings with the same respect and attention given to the beginning, and that’s hard to find.
The narration is very good, truly performed.
This is the other thing I love about her audiobooks, the casting for the voice performers is always on point.
You can’t go wrong here.
Certainly worth a credit.
