While My Eyes Were Closed by Linda Green
5.0

Oh my goodness, this is every mothers nightmare!

Imagine you take your little girl to the park to play, she is only 4 years old, and her favourite thing to do while you are there is to play Hide-and-Seek.

You are the person hiding, and she finds you, but wants one more go so that she gets to hide too, "just one more go Mummy, don't forget to count to 100, and make sure you close your eyes!"

One...

Two....

....

.....

One Hundred......................................

Only you can't find her, even when you shout that she is the winner....

And all of your nightmares come true!

This book made me hold my breath for a lot of it as I know that feeling, you know that feeling when you turn around and they are not there, only to breathe out the big sigh of relief when they appear around the corner, but what happens when they don't?

Switching between the mothers story, and the point of view of the abductor, this cleverly written story had me on the edge of my seat for the whole time.

🎧🎧 - Fabulously narrated by Emma Gregory, Maggie Mash and Gareth Bennett-Ryan who did an excellent job. i got this in the Audible sale, but it is well worth spending a credit on.
