Description
‘My book of the year so far…’ —Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author
In this chilling thriller from the bestselling authors of Spare Room, one woman just wants the truth about who she really is. But she’s not the only one looking…
It’s twenty years since Eva, a biracial woman, was adopted as an eight-year-old, and Cherry and Carlton ‘Sugar’ McNeil have always been the only parents she’s wanted or needed. But when she’s dealt the double blow of Cherry’s death and her own suspension from work, Eva decides it’s time to discover who she was before she was theirs.
Against Sugar’s advice, Eva joins a DNA database, desperate for a match that will unlock her identity. And when a positive hit comes, she’s excited to learn there are relations out there who might hold the key. But the closer Eva gets to uncovering her past, the more it appears someone is trying to stop her finally finding the truth…
As she continues to dig, Eva is drawn into a dark and merciless underside to society, where black women disappear without a word. Names erased from history, no search parties, no desperate pleas for their return. Once, someone tried to save Eva from all this. Someone wanted a better life for her. But now that she’s torn down the facade of her life, has she come too far to be spared again?
Commentaires
“British actress Andoh (recently seen as Lady Danbury on Netflix’s Bridgerton) breathlessly navigates listeners through the tumultuous twists and turns of Eva’s investigation by modulating the speed and tone of her narration to ratchet up the suspense. Her dynamic performance as Eva and her expert juggling of other character accents make for a compelling and fast-paced listen.”—Booklist
“Narrator Adjoa Andoh showcases her acting talents in portraying Eva, a woman in desperate search of her birth mother, and the women and men who are part of Eva's life. With appropriate pacing and intense emotion, Andoh expresses the tension and pain felt by the women she voices. Some of the most heartbreaking moments come in Andoh's masterful performance of young Eva's experiences in an orphanage.… This is a disturbing, slow-burn psychological thriller that keeps listeners engaged to the end.”—AudioFile Magazine
“A heartfelt and eloquent exploration of the iniquities of racial bias.”—The Guardian
