About this audiobook

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Missing Pieces of Sophie McCarthy by B. M. Carroll, read by Kirsty Gillmore, Jane Drinkwater, Natasha Jacobs, Stan Pretty, Olivia Beardsley, Adam Fitzgerald and Katrina Bowker.

She's the victim.
But is she so innocent?

Sophie McCarthy is known for her determination, ambition and brilliance at work. She's tough, but only because she wants to get the best out of people.

Aidan Ryan is strong, honourable, and a family man. He's tough too; the army requires it.

When these two strangers are brought together in a devastating incident, Sophie's life is left in ruins. Her family wants to see Aidan pay for what he did.

Aidan's prepared to sacrifice everything - including his marriage and his child - to fix the mess he's made.

But some things can't be fixed, and Sophie is not at all what she first appeared . . .


Such an intriguing, compelling novel. Impossible to put down and irresistibly good - Liane Moriarty

Ratings and reviews

While this is not a mystery, per se, it is an excellent novel. The various narrators are a superb representation of each character - especially the voice of Sophie. Each character is cleverly woven to show the novel as a whole, not simply scattered as one might think. Yes, there is bullying and there is pain both physical and psychological. Aiden's character may at times cause us to yell at him but we're taken to the great finish line with a sympathetic understanding of PTSD. In the meantime, a novel filled with well developed characters and a great novel of intrigue from start to finish. (I don't often leave a review but I listened to this audiobook twice. Highly recommend)
