Charlotte Salter vanishes on the night of her husband 50th birthday party.  While he is utterly unconcerned, Charlotte's four children know that something is terribly wrong.  Shortly after the disappearance the body of a family friend is found, binding the children of two families in a 30 year uncertainty as to what happened to their respective parents.  However a podcast intended to be a cathartic process leads to unexpected answers.  The husband and wife team of Nicci French gifts us with a dark, emotional and oppressive novel, which stays a mystery till the very end.
