About this audiobook
Everyone has secrets, and Rachel Holloway is no exception. She’s worked hard to keep the past where it belongs: dead and buried. And so far, she’s been very successful. But now the small newspaper where she works wants to produce a podcast on a cold case: the disappearance twelve years ago of young Molly Forster.
Some secrets should never see the light of day, and, as far as Rachel is concerned, whatever happened to little Molly is one of them.
Rachel has a life now—a boyfriend she loves and a three-year-old daughter she adores—and she will do anything to protect them. But to do that, no one can ever know that she is Molly Forster.
Natalie Barelli
Natalie Barelli can usually be found reading a book, and that book will more likely than not be a psychological thriller. When not absorbed in the latest gripping page-turner, she loves cooking, enjoys riding her Vespa around town, and otherwise spends far too much time at the computer. She lives in Australia with her family. For more information, visit nataliebarelli.com.

Little Molly Forster has been missing since that awful day when her entire family was murdered. People wonder where she is, but the town has kept that night and the secrets that came with it quiet. Until now. A small newspaper is determined to grow their numbers through a podcast focused on finding the missing girl. Their bookkeeper, Rachel Holloway, fight to keep the podcast from kicking off, but soon she too is caught up in the hunt to find Molly. Only, she knows exactly where Molly is, it's a secret she's kept to herself since the day she ran away.
I hated the blurb for this book, it gave away far too much, but ultimately I couldn't stay away from a book that featured a modern day mystery story told through a podcast. Podcasts are all the rage and this made those stories I'm just used to hearing through my headphones come to life. I enjoyed the background of how it all worked, really appreciated Rachel's story as she fought to keep her secrets, and definitely felt shock and surprise as the true story of that evening unraveled. Parts of it were predictable, as most mysteries are, but parts of it did truly surprise me and how it was written made it interesting even when I knew what was coming. There's quite a lot of suspense and a nicely done psychological twist, the novel becoming all the more enjoyable as Rachel became more unstable and less reliable. I liked reading the mystery from the future and appreciated that the glimpses into Rachel's past didn't reveal everything, but rather left more questions.
Missing Molly is an entertaining psychological thriller that features a pile of unique, well developed characters and a current theme that fits with the times. Some of it is unbelievable and at times the relationships fell flat, but I was swept up in this story, desperate to know why Rachel had left her name behind and had done so much to hide it. I really appreciated her weakening resolve to keep it quiet and loved how the mystery finally was revealed to the characters only at the very end.
ARC provided. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I’m finding this one hard to review. There was a lot of information and a lot of things going on in this book. It was a very well thought out storyline and the characters were well done. I enjoyed the book a lot but I guess I really don’t have strong feelings about it one way or another. That seems odd because it really was a unique idea and it managed to keep my attention throughout the book. Maybe I will just have to come back to review this one later.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Quick listen on audible audio. Fast paced mystery,thriller about a young woman who has been on the run since the night her family was brutally murdered. She has managed to hide her true identity. She knows who the killer is, and is convinced that he will killer her too. The killer has connections and they will never, let her tell the truth of what happened. The small newpaper she works for has decided to do a podcast on Missing Molly, hoping to save the paper and bring attention to an old missing person case, Rachel, the paper's bookkeeper tries everything to stop the podcast from launching. She knows her and her daughter will not be safe if she is discovered. The only problem is --- can she stop it and keep her family safe.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This novel kept me engaged, yet the plot was sort of ridiculous and silly. I liked the book but would have given a rating of 2.5 if possible.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Suspenseful thriller. The author had me hooked in the first chapter. I love a good mystery and the podcast theme was a great idea since it has become our society’s favorite source of entertainment the last few years.
Loved all the twists and turns, and knowing the main character’s thought process and the way she told the story. Highly recommend this book.2 people found this helpful

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I’d give it a higher rating if the author had any clue what real psychiatrists do or how they do it. As a psychiatrist this always bothers me.
