I enjoyed this. Certainly plenty of intrigue, though I wasn't a fan of the ending.

the ending was shocking, id thought about the possibility of fran being behind it all at the beginning but i never really thought she would be. the entire ending was so predictable after dom had been arrested because it didnt all add up and there was still 60 or socpages left. overall it was a good book, but it felt a bit dragged out in the first half.

This is the first time I’ve listened to an audio book, and I loved it! The story is greatly told and easy to follow, I was a little scared that I would not fully understand or follow the story, but I didn’t have any trouble at all. On the contrary, it was great having company while I was walking, it was like a friend that is telling a story that you can pause whenever you want. If you haven’t tried an audio book, I highly recommend them to you!
Let’s talk a little about the book too, don’t you think? As you can imagine with the title, the story is about a missing person; a little girl called Lauren who disappears on the night of the bonfire, leaving a family totally devastated. The problem is that not all the members of the family are so innocent as they seem. But who could have a strong motive to kidnap a little girl? Unless something happened and they try to cover it…
This is a book were everyone have secrets and anyone could had a moment “alone” to kidnap Lauren, and this is the main point of the book. The title is not only to catch you eye if you are searching for a book, it will the the question popping to your mind all the book. Who is the last one that saw Lauren? Is she still alive? If not, who killed her? And why covering it up and putting the poor family to so much pain?
The story is told in main person by the nanny of Lauren, she really loves and cares for her, but since the beginning you know she is hiding something; but this “something” could it had something to do with the kidnapping or not?
I really enjoyed this story, with all the layers on it and all the hidden secrets that are revealed during the story, there are so many twists and surprises that I am sure you’ll love this story.
This is a psychological thriller where nothing is what it seems and everyone have something to hide. The main question is Have You Seen Her?

"Bonfire Night. A missing girl. Anna only takes her eyes off Laurel for a second. She thought Laurel was following her mum through the crowds. But in a heartbeat, Laurel is gone. Laurel’s parents are frantic. As is Anna, their nanny. But as the hours pass, and Laurel isn’t found, suspicion grows.
Someone knows what happened to Laurel. And they’re not telling."
It's every parent's worst nightmare. You take your eyes off your child for a second, and she's gone. Days pass, and the police can't find her. Frantic, you call in a psychic. You blame your nanny. You blame yourself. You blame your husband. Who took her?
This is a twisting, turning psychological thriller told in the voice of Anna, the nanny, who has seen the marriage between Laurel's parents -- Fran and Dominic -- coming undone.
Anna has a secret of her own. She also feels -- quite accurately -- that she is the only person that Laurel can count on, the only person that Laurel needs and loves, and Anna's heart aches for the little girl.
The book does take a soap-opera-ish tone at times, and mid-way through the book I had figured out the "plot twist" that "nobody could see coming" -- so it wasn't entirely unpredictable but entertaining nonetheless.

Another fantastic book from Lisa Hall. I listened to this on audible and finished it in a day at work. A little girl missing, a nanny with a secret and parents who are not who they seem. Sucks you right in!

This is literally every parent's worst nightmare - take your eyes of your child for a second and they go missing. It's unimaginable. So as a parent myself, I was completely engrossed by this one. Lisa Hall has done it again, such a compulsively readable story and another twist I didn't see coming at the end.
