About this listen

 The highly anticipated follow-up to the Queen of Suspense's iconic bestseller, Where Are the Children?.

THEY THOUGHT IT COULDN’T HAPPEN AGAIN. THEY WERE WRONG.

A lawyer turned successful podcaster, Missy has worked hard to put the past behind her.

More than four decades ago, her mother, Nancy Harmon, was convicted of the murder of her first two children and released on a technicality. Shunned by her family and the media, she was building a new life for herself in Cape Cod when her children from a second marriage, Missy and her brother Mike, vanished too. Once again the prime suspect, this time Nancy was able to confront the secrets buried in her past and rescue her kids from a dangerous predator.

But Nancy’s past has a long reach. Missy has recently married a man whose first wife died tragically, leaving him and their young daughter, Riley, behind. While Missy and her brother Mike help their mother relocate from Cape Cod to the equally idyllic Hamptons, Missy’s new stepdaughter goes missing.

As history chillingly repeats itself, Missy and Mike must draw on memories of their own abduction as they race to find Riley and save her from the same trauma they experienced – or something much worse . . .

Just like the original, Where Are the Children Now? will keep you holding your breath until the very last page.

A good story but very slow to get to the actual point, the kidnap and so many characters so much background distracting from the main plot. Lacking the atmosphere and tension of its predecessor Where are the Children? My favourite book which I've read and listened to on audio but sadly not available here

Good but not as good as Where are the children

I really enjoyed this audio book. I read and listened to the original years ago. It was a short but riveting book and I was dubious about a co-written sequel but I did find that I couldn't put it down. I would recommend it to Mary Higgins Clark fans. I did partially guess the ending but being able to follow the clues is part of the fun of a thriller.

A great sequel
