3,5/5. I like the narrator in this audio book. The voices, the rhythm, the intonation, she did a very good job! The story itself was nice enough, even if I didn't like it much personally. I find it to be way more women fiction orientated than an actual thriller. Sure there is an investigation, but it didn't ever seem like it was the main concern. Five children disappear and we don't feel the urgency at all. Not from the police, not from the family of the children, from no one!

I'd like the topic of family and relationship inside them, again maybe too women orientated, not many men in here, lot of mother daughter thing, but those characters were nice enough so it didn't bother me much, but it would have been even better if those characters would have been develop a bit deeper, a bit better, there was place left for a bit more depth I think.

Finally, I think that it was kind of a realistic thriller in some way. let me explain, sure we didn't get the urgency, the life goes on, the officer continue to have personal life beyond, or behind, or whatever, the investigation, and I think this is more real. I'm not sure that in rel life, investigator, never sleep, give it all to the investigation 24/7 and all that. So that maybe didn't created the more breath holding book, but it did a good one!

Not my favorite thriller style or investigator, but for personal reason more than anything else. I'm an old alcoholic and depressive investigator lover, but it was a good novel, well written with some interesting topic. I could be curious to read or listen from this author eventually!

Personal enjoyment 3/5, potential for a good 4/5. I will go with a fair 3,5/5.
