No One Can Hear You
He said that they’d let me go on purpose. That they could easily find me if they wanted to. He said that they didn’t want me. That I was too much trouble. He said if I went to the cops, he’d know. If I told Sonya, he’d know. If I talked to friends or teachers, he’d know. He told me to pretend it didn’t happen. He told me to consider it a compliment, that I was too strong. His last words to me were, ‘Just forget’.
Troubled teen Faith Marsden was one of several girls abducted from Crawton, a country town known for its picturesque lake and fertile farmland. Unlike the others, she escaped, though sixteen years on she still bears the emotional and physical scars.
Zoe Haywood returns to Crawton to bury her estranged mother Lillian, who has taken her own life. As she and Faith rekindle their high-school friendship, they discover notes left by Lillian that point to two more young women who recently disappeared from Crawton. But Lillian’s confused ramblings leave them with more questions than answers.
As Faith and Zoe delve deeper into the mystery, they become intent on saving the missing women, but in doing so are drawn into Auckland’s hidden world of drugs, abduction and murder. And then Faith decides to confront the mastermind – on her own.

MY REVIEW
This is my first read by this author and it certainly won’t be my last as I really liked this story.
If your looking for a well written mystery then this is the story for you. A story that kept me guessing throughout.
The story starts with introducing us to Faith Marsden who was abducted. Zoe returns to the town to bury her mother. They both rekindle a childhood friendship. Both girls are invested in finding the other missing women after finding notes by Faiths deceased mother Lilian.
I did like this story. Some characters I liked more than others. I ended up reading this in a day as I wanted to know how the stitch was going to play out. I’ll definitely be looking to read more from this author in the future.
