About this listen

Richard Bower spots his sister after she's been missing for 30 years, but she evades his persistent pursuit to keep their family secret from him.

He thought she was dead...

Thirty years after his parents died in a car crash and his sister mysteriously disappeared, Richard Bower spots a woman in a restaurant he believes is his sister. He confronts her, but she denies knowing him at all. However, a note left behind with staff - written in his sister's script and signed with her childhood nickname - proves otherwise.

Haunted by the past...

Desperate to find his sister in hopes of finding answers to unlock his mysterious past, Richard enlists the help of all his contacts as attorney to find her.

Secrets and lies...

Each clue leads him one step closer to revealing his shrouded past but also one step closer to danger. Is it better for Richard to find out the truth? Or should he remain haunted by the ghosts of the past?

This was an intriguing little mystery, with a pretty sad ending. Richard has never known what became of his sister after their parents died, in this little story, he gets to the bottom of this mystery but the reader is still left wondering whether this is a good or a bad thing.

I did enjoy this a lot, but as with all short stories, a little more would have have made it great.

I do recommend this one though as a quick listen.

Excellent short story
