Close Your Eyes

De: Teresa Driscoll

Narrado por: Elizabeth Knowelden

Finding missing children is Matthew’s job—but this time it’s his own daughter who’s disappeared.

When private investigator Matthew Hill picks up the call from his wife, Sally, his world comes crashing down. Their eight-year-old daughter, Amelie, is missing. One second, she was there, the next, she was gone.

It’s the very nightmare they’ve been dreading. Long ago, Matthew left the force after a woman blamed him for her son’s death, promising that he too would one day feel her pain. It’s a threat that’s hung over his family ever since, and now it’s Amelie’s picture on the news.

Matthew knows how these things go—the longer their daughter is missing, the less hope there is of finding her alive.

As the clock ticks and a canal is searched, he and Sally must reckon with their greatest fear…

Suspense

Excellent! Easy listening, couldn’t stop listening. Great ending . Definitely look for more books from this author.

A nice page turner and twist

I wasn’t too sure what the ending would bring but such a great page turner!

Beyond my expectations

Very good story! Could not but it down! Excellent description of all characters and trilling moments

Great book

Keeps you on edge through out book . I totally recommend this read. I will look for more by this author

You'll want to keep your eyes open until the very end!

I kept putting off reading this book, I'm not certain why, but I'm glad I finally did. The pace, suspense, and storyline were all really good. My heart went out to Matthew and Sally when Amelia went missing, but there were a couple of times I wanted to scream. Matthew, understandably distraught, wanting answers and to find his daughter, was doing more harm to the search to find her than good. Then, Olivia, searching for her mother, enterers the pages and adds even more momentum to the plot. I won't say anymore because I don't want to risk saying too much.

I just couldn’t solve it

I enjoyed this story. Waiting to hear how it would would be solved. All the way to the very end, I was hooked.

A bridge too far on character behavior

I read and listen to a lot of fiction. I believe this is my first Teresa Driscoll book. I listened to it. The narration was fine. The actions of all the primary characters, however, were often so unbelievable that they required way too much suspension of belief. I was going to list all the many instances where the author lost me but decided it was too much work. I almost stopped listening multiple times. So, save yourself the trouble. If you must listen to this book, do so only for the first chapters to get the gist of the plot. (BTW: this could’ve been a really good book without this fatal flaw, because the premise and set up were good.) Then skip to the last few chapters for the denouement. People don’t behave the way described, no matter the supposed trauma depicted in this book.

Listened to in one day.

Not one boring moment. Great character development.
Very interesting police procedural. I’ve listened to many, many audiobooks and rarely give 5 stars. I feel this one earned it. Loved the story, the narrator and the characters. Great ending too. I appreciate that

predictable and repetitive

only 1 part that surprised me. and the memories were very repetitive and hard to get through

Wow!

The first part dragged a little but the end made up for it! Right up to the last word!
