"Twenty years ago, someone stole my sister.
They say Leonie got into a man’s car. She was never seen again. It was the day before her fifteenth birthday.
But what if she was never taken? What if the truth is right here, all along, in the house where we grew up? The house I’ve come back to, trying to piece the past together.
A notification flashes on my phone. Photos on social media. I stare, chilled, at old pictures of my childhood home. Our front door, the gardens outside the window where I sit now. They’re tagged: #leonieshouse.
A shiver of unease runs down my spine.
Who knows?
What do they know?
I keep saying that I don’t remember.
But I do.

Slater, Valerie Keogh, and Liane Moriarty, this utterly gripping psychological suspense with a twist will take your breath away."

Then one day, crammed into a drawer in her creaking old fisherman’s cottage, she finds a diary. She’s utterly captivated by the unfolding story of infatuation, rejection and guilt, so similar to her own. But just as the writer is about to confess a chilling secret, the diary stops, the rest of its pages torn out. Convinced that the author lived in the same cottage, Livia is desperate to find out the truth about how the diary ended. Who wrote that diary, and what happened to her? And what will happen to Livia when she finds out?"
