Summary

 The worst day of Tim Blake's life started out with him making breakfast for his seventeen-year-old daughter Sydney. Syd was staying with him while she worked a summer job - even if he wasn't entirely sure what her job at the Just Inn Time motel actually was - and Tim hoped this quality father-daughter time would somehow help her deal with his divorce. When she didn't arrive home at her usual time, he thought she'd probably gone to the mall to hang with her friends. When she didn't answer her phone he began to worry. When she didn't come home at all, he began to panic. And when the people at the motel said they had no Sydney Blake working there, and never had, he began to see his life going into freefall.

If she hadn't been working at the motel every day, what had she been doing? Something she couldn't - or wouldn't - tell her own father about? To find his daughter Tim doesn't need to simply track her down - he needs to know who she really was, and what could have made her step out of her own life without leaving a trace.

Only one thing has him convinced the worst hasn't already happened: the fact that some very scary people seem just as eager as he is to find her. The question is, who's going to find her first?

Not my favourite Linwood Barclay but enjoyable. Super frustrating that Audible decided to just put chapters in random places and not where the actual book chapters were. Also there’s some weird music at random intervals that really threw me, still haven’t figured out why it was there! 🤷‍♀️

Ok book

really enjoyed this book, great story and well read.
this is the first book by this author I have read but will definitely not be the last. I love how the book appears to be linked to another of his novels by a brief comment made and going by the description of the other book. definitely worth the read.

Thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish.

this is my 3rd Linwood book, the other 2 were much better and the narration in this book did not come up to the standard of the others. there is very odd incidental music playing at times during this book, twice at least in the middle of a scene. a bit weird. this story could have been hours shorter, it went on a bit then the end happened suddenly with little wind down and no aftermath. I persevered

OK ish

I found the narration of this book rather irritating, some of the voices are awful and off putting. The story was OK, a different narrator could have made it so much better.

OK story poor narration
