當我離開時
內容介紹
「加爾薩再次確立了自己作為美國懸疑大師的地位…有如一部完美的驚悚大片。」—Mindy Mejia,暢銷書EVERYTHING YOU WANT ME TO BE作者
暢銷書When I Was You作者安柏‧加薩爾(Amber Garza)回歸,帶來令人毛骨悚然的全新驚悚小說,述說了一位母親最可怕的噩夢成真,她十幾歲的女兒去朋友家過夜,卻從此沒有回來…
當惠特尼(Whitney)把她越來越喜怒無常的十幾歲的女兒阿米莉亞(Amelia)送到勞倫(Lauren)家時,她還是忍不住有點擔心。惠特尼從未見過勞倫的父母,通常她會進去屋裡,跟勞倫的父母打聲招呼,但正值青春期的阿米莉亞顯然不會讓這種讓她覺得丟臉的事情發生,所以惠特尼只能向女兒揮了揮手,然後離開這間前面掛著玫瑰的小房子。
但是當惠特尼隔天前往勞倫家時,一對老夫婦開門了——但是阿米莉亞和勞倫並不在裡面,這對老夫婦發誓他們從來沒看過阿米莉亞和勞倫這兩個孩子,堅稱惠特尼找錯地方了。當惠特尼開始尋找阿米莉亞時,她發現了女兒對她說的一連串謊言——從芬斯塔的賬戶到某個秘密關係的謠言。
挖掘越多,惠特尼不禁思考她真的認識這個她養大的女孩嗎?但是,阿米莉亞並不是唯一一個有秘密的人。惠特尼自己的心魔可能與女兒的失踪有關係?惠特尼能否在為時已晚之前找到阿米莉亞?
