In the early hours of Saturday, December 17, Zoe Nolan walked out of a party in the apartment where she’d been living for three months. She was nineteen and a student at Manchester University. She was never seen again. Seven years after her disappearance, struggling writer Evelyn Mitchell finds herself drawn into the mystery. Through interviews with Zoe’s closest friends and family, she begins piecing together what really happened that night. But where some versions of events overlap, aligning perfectly with one another, others stand in stark contrast, giving rise to troubling inconsistencies. Shaken by revelations of Zoe’s secret life and stalked by a figure from the shadows, Evelyn turns to crime writer Joseph Knox to help make sense of a case where everyone has something to hide. Zoe Nolan may be missing, presumed dead, but her story is only just beginning.
“The narrators of this audiobook are so effective that the listener can easily believe this is a true-crime story. The full cast has accents from all over Great Britain, adding to the production’s seeming factual authenticity. But this is a novel designed to parody the current infatuation with true-crime reporting, something that is not made clear without some Internet browsing. The author, Joseph Knox, even goes so far as to (falsely) apologize to his publisher for his suspect reporting methods and agrees to sever their relationship. In the story an author is researching a book about a beautiful young woman who has gone missing in Manchester. It provides audio of painstaking interviews of the woman’s friends and relatives, who offer their contradictory versions of events.”—AudioFile
