THE DISAPPEARING

The Southern twangs of narrators Sophie Amoss and Michael Crouch are a perfect fit for this suspenseful thriller. Lane Fielding reluctantly finds herself back in the small Florida town where she grew up. Living with her parents and two daughters, she's shunned by the community for suspicions involving her father. Ten days after a college student disappears, the same thing happens to Lane's older daughter, Annalee. Lane suspects that people in the town are out for revenge, but they believe a serial killer has returned. Both narrators effectively unfold the pieces of the mystery, carefully intertwining each character's view of events. They reveal each shocking moment slowly and vividly, building suspense and giving an eerie ambience to a compelling thriller. D.Z. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2018]
