About this listen

It's a blindingly hot summer. International visitors surge into Sydney's Darling Harbour. Two-year-old Tommy is sailing his toy boat in the park there with his mother Phoebe. Tommy vanishes into thin air. The following winter, taunting notes written as nursery rhymes begin arriving at his parents' home.

Little Boy Blue, where did you go? Who led you away? Only I know...

The police believe the messages are just a cruel prank. But Phoebe becomes obsessed with tracking down the writer of the rhymes. Her marriage ends up shattering.

When the shocking identity of the writer is discovered, Phoebe's desperate race for the truth has only just begun.

ANNI TAYLOR lives on The Central Coast, north of Sydney, Australia, with her partner and four boys. Her thriller novels include Stranger in the Woods, Birds in Flight and Poison Orchids.

Wow … just when you think you know .. you don’t!
I suspected sooo many characters and thought mid way through this needs to come to an end now surely we know who it is!
Even at the end of this story here’s still lots of twists and turns! One hell of a rollercoaster and I really enjoyed it.
Read well by Zindzi

Interesting subject matter, told from two points of view. the start (about 30%) and ending (from 70%ish) was strong yet rather outlandish and unbelievable finish. The middle was poor, repetitive and a drag.

I also think the book would have been better having a female narrator from the female perspective and male narrator for the male perspective.

The book could have shortened by quite a bit.

why not two narrators

A gripping story from the outset with twist after twist, I love the way the narrative switches between different characters, I would recommend this audio book
