"Mrs. Cass, we were hoping your son could answer a few questions about the girl who disappeared last night..."

Erika Cass has a perfect family and a perfect life. Until the evening when two detectives show up at her front door.

A high school girl has vanished from Erika's quiet suburban neighborhood. The police suspect the worst--murder. And Erika's teenage son, Liam, was the last person to see the girl alive.

Erika has always sensed something dark and disturbed in her seemingly perfect older child. She wants to believe he's innocent, but as the evidence mounts, she can't deny the truth--Liam may have done the unthinkable.

Now she must ask herself:

How far will she go to protect her son?

A quick second Audiobook because I was browsing on Libby and what the heck why not.

I started off not expecting much from this book, but I have to say one thing: I really liked the female narrator on this one. In many audiobooks, I get annoyed with the voice and then give up listening, but this narrator’s voice did not grate on my nerves. Her playing up her voice for other characters, and accents and such also were very smooth and didn’t annoy me at all.

Although I did not realize the twist until it revealed, I must say I always had this… mistrust of the (then-revealed) antagonist. It was all like a… it’s too good to be true thing haha.

The ending of the book was corny-ish in that it was trying to drag on the suspense, haha, it was cute. But who knows.
