DESCRIPTION:The perfect family. The perfect new home. Until I found out about the missing girl…
When I get the keys to Forest Farm, my boyfriend Charlie’s family home, I know I am the luckiest girl alive. This gorgeous five-bed farmhouse with its sweeping gravel drive has been given to us no questions asked. And with Charlie’s parents living so close, I feel like the door has been shut on the secrets of my past and I’ve been welcomed into a brand-new family.
But soon my perfect new life seems more like a nightmare. I hear whispers about Charlie and me when I go to the village shop, and when we stroll to the local pub for drinks, the bar falls silent. At first, I can’t understand why, but then I learn about Sophie, Charlie’s girlfriend who disappeared when she was seventeen.
Charlie was on holiday when she vanished. But when I ask him about it, the coldness in his eyes chills me to the bone. How well do I know the man I’m living with?
And then one lonely evening, I make my way down to the basement. And under the light of the single bulb, scratched into the ugly grey walls, I see the message:
Sophie was here.
I have to find out what really happened. But in an isolated house, surrounded by a family I no longer trust, will I be in danger if I do?
A gripping and totally addictive read from Amazon number 1 bestselling author Kathryn Croft. Fans of Lisa Jewell andThe Housemaid will be completely hooked on Sophie Was Here.

MY THOUGHTS:
A secret past, lies and more are certain to disrupt Emmie’s life soon after her partner Charlie’s parents gift them their old farmhouse. It all begins when Emmie discovers a chilling message in their basement: Sophie was here. Determined to uncover the truth, Emmie won’t rest until she finds out who Sophie was and what connection she might have had to Charlie.
While Emmie’s dreams were of her future, she is determined to uncover the past. Unearthing clues that go back nearly two decades reveals a web of secrets far more extensive than she could have imagined. Why was finding any information about Sophie so difficult? Curiosity has turned into obsession.
As the drama intensifies, the darkness of the past slowly becomes clearer to Emmie. The author’s chilling tale, with its multiple perspectives and dual timelines, suggests that Emmie might have good reason to distrust Charlie.
This captivating audiobook holds the reader’s attention from the very beginning until the thrilling conclusion. Naomi Frederick’s exceptional narration makes this character-driven story an utterly compelling read. Kathryn Croft has woven together another intriguing read.
