About this listen

Rory is waiting at the door of the preschool - a painted picture of his mother, Susan, in his small hand. But Susan isn’t going to see the picture, because she has vanished.

Susan Wheeler is a devoted mother. She would do anything for her three children. She drops them off and picks them up every single day. Until one day when Susan kisses them goodbye and then never comes to pick them up.

Susan’s mother, Mary, is worried. Susan is recently divorced and has been finding things hard recently, but she loves her kids - she’d never leave them.

Susan’s sister, Clare, is furious. It’s just like her to go missing. It’s not the first time, either. Susan has always been a troublemaker. Always seeking attention. She knows Susan has been lying to the family for years. And she knows that Susan has been sneaking out of her family home for weeks....

As the hours turn into days, even Clare becomes fearful for Susan. And, when Mary discovers Susan’s diary, she begins to uncover a dark secret from her childhood. Something no one in the family knew. When the final diary entry leads the police to a man who is discovered dead in a local park, they’re left wondering whether Susan has vanished because she is a victim. Or because she is a suspect....

An explosively compelling crime thriller from best-selling author Carla Kovach - if you love Lisa Gardner, Robert Bryndza, or Clare Mackintosh, you’ll love Her Dark Heart.

Disappointing

For me I found the constant harping back to Gina’s mother irritating. It wasn’t the best- but each to their own.

gah

The storyline is good but I cannot abide the Birmingham accent in this. It's way too shrill and I have to grit my teeth through it

another excellent read from Carla

loved the story clever complicated (but not comfusing) plot .
I am so so glad that DI Hart has stopped the intense self flaggilation .it was driving me nuts and spoiling the story to the point I wasn't going to read any more .
personally that bloody Sadistic bastard Terry needed pushing down the stairs ..sooner than he was .All praise to Gina !
look forward to next story ...minus Terry and Gina's guilt .

Great series of books!

I love this series of books, but I felt this storyline was a little harder to follow as there were so many characters. Overall, still very good!

Loved it, bring on the next

I have listened to all of the Gina stories and love them. I was nearly put off this book when one of the reviews said about her keep referring to her Mom but I'm so very glad I listened as I found it very relevant and emotional. Grief takes many forms and sometimes triggers can make you look back and think of things you could have done differently. I can't wait to see how her relationship develops too. Next book here I come! x
