Such a fan of Caroline Mitchell!
Audiobook: Elizabeth Knowelden
Ten years ago, the Harper family (mom, dad and Gracie) just disappeared, what happened to them? Were they murdered? Suicide pact? Moved (although their passports weren't taken with). Aliens?? The mystery was never solved.
We then meet Naomi, investigative journalist, married to Ed Ward, a movie producer and his daughter, Morgan. They have bought the house that the family had disappeared in.
Bit by bit the mystery gets solved.
Some of it made me think a bit of Hot Fuzz (fabulous movie with and Simon Pegg and Nick Frost). This is isn't a comedy at all, but the closely knit Village; vibes of everyone that is hiding a secret and does not let new people feel welcome.
When the mystery was pretty much solved and I thought the book was finished, I thought ah, I did enjoy it, but was surprised that it wasn't quite as twisty as the other Caroline Mitchell's I had read. But then I saw that I still had an hour left to listen, bonus!
And then the real puzzle pieces fell into place, and of course there were a few delicious twists!
