There were way too many annoying things going on in this story to really enjoy it.

Missing Molly was just ok. The reason I didn’t give it a higher rating is entirely because the story was a bit ridiculous. If you knew who did it, wouldn’t you tell someone???

Saw this audiobook on Audible and as part of my membership. It sounded interesting and I downloaded it.
I listened to it in little over one day. Okay I do get through a lot of audiobooks always, but this one I kind of could not put down for very long.

Was it obvious, as I have read reviews suggesting? Perhaps - but then, the author did not try to conceal the truth all to the end, and this was fine with me. It did not take anything away from the nail biting feel of the story. Plot was good, story was told very well.

I was immensely entertained from the first paragraph to the last. Excellent story by Natalie Barelli, and very well narrated by Lucy Price-Lewis. I wish I could give it 4.5 stars (or 9/10) but the four stars are all very very solid ones, all sprinkling off stardust for the last half one.

My thoughts on this book are rather confusing. On one hand.... I really enjoyed the premise of it. But on the other.... I absolutely hated the climax/ending. So I'm hovering around a 2.5 Star rating.

Rachel Halloway A.K.A Molly Forester has done her best to create a safe and happy life for herself. She has fought her way to find a new house, great job, good friend, and even made a family. However, 'Rachel' has a childhood secret that she has been running from since she was a pre-teen... her entire family was murdered and she is the soul survivor. The town thinks that the murderer was found and charged.... but Molly knows that the real killer is still out there and still wants her dead. When the newspaper that she works for is in danger of shutting down... her boss comes up with the idea to start a true crime podcast called "Finding little Molly Forester". Molly is terrified that her true identity will be uncovered and her and her family's lives will be in serious danger. Will the podcast uncover the truth? Will the murderer finally be able to finish the job he started so many years ago?

Now obviously the summary seems very intriguing! However, this is the type of 'thriller' that has little to no actual thrill to it. You know from the first chapter who Rachel really is, what happened, and the general premise of who the murderer is. Not to mention... the end is just plain silly. How can all of this stuff happen throughout the book and then just end so quickly? Personally, I wish that the author would have involved the actual killer a little more. At least it would have added a little suspense

Overall... I enjoyed my experience reading this book. However, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone that is really into thrillers.
