5 stars for this audiobook! I thoroughly enjoyed the full cast, some of my favorite narrators were on here, including Cassandra Campbell!

I thoroughly enjoyed Every Moment Since and would like to read more of Marybeth's backlist. 11 year old Davy goes missing which sets off a set of events that affects those around him for years to come. Davy's jacket is found 20 years later in a field which is where the book starts off. This book has multiple POV's and jumps different timelines which made it a very fast read. It is more character driven but because of how Marybeth structured the book, it is paced so well!
This is a somewhat emotionally intense book dealing with grief and pain. It also shows the perspective of Gordon, who was accused but never charged with the disappearance. Gordon has stayed in the small town to take care of his elderly parents, so his story is one I was invested in. This was well written and well paced but I found the end a tiny bit anti climatic so that is why it's not really a 5 star book. Overall, I would highly recommend!
Thank you to Netgalley and Harper Muse for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

The story grabbed me from the very beginning. The writing is wonderful and haunting, and the story is one that is truly all too familiar— young boy disappears, police butcher the investigation, and he isn’t found. The wasn’t a big twist at the end, like so many books include the in the genre but this story was more than that, than the shock value. It’s about how grief and unexpected tragedy can and do change the lives of not just the immediate family but everyone that was touched by it.

Re: audiobook—the full cast was really incredible for this story.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to listen and review this book.
Excellent book!
I got the notification that I'd been approved for this book yesterday and just finished it 24 hrs later.
Excellent story of a missing little boy and 20 years later what really happened.
I was enthralled! Totally wrapped up in the complex, dual time storyline.
I will absolutely be telling all of my friends about this book.
All of the narrators did a great job!

This story is a beautiful telling of what a family goes through when a child goes missing. I listened to the audiobook and the narration was very well done. There are multiple POVs showing how different people all process and try to move forward after their son, brother, and friend goes missing after a night playing with friends.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Muse Audiobooks for the audio for review.

Davy Malcor is an 11 year old boy who goes missing and now over 20 years later new evidence is found relating to the case. Old wounds are reopen and the family must again deal with the onslaught y of the media. Will the family finally find out what happened and who was involved or will it simply leave more questions unanswered.

Every Moment Since is a beautiful novel that takes us back to a time when missing children were not issued Amber alerts and their pictures were not posted on every news outlet. This is a story of how a family and a community is impacted and changed by a missing child. It written from multiple view points past and present and the author does it brilliantly. Marybeth Mayhew Whalen does a wonderful job of conveying the overwhelming loss and the range of emotions the family and friends felt that night and years later.
I listened to the audio book and it was gripping. I love that audio books having multiple narrators are become more popular because it adds so much depth for the listeners. This audio book with its 6 narrators was rare and I highly recommend the audio version of this book.

Every Moment Since is a poignant, emotionally charged novel that will remain with readers long after reading the final page. Set in the small town of Wynotte, North Carolina, Marybeth Mayhew Whalen's heart wrenching drama unfolds against the backdrop of the tragic disappearance of 11-year-old Davey Malcor in 1985. Told from multiple perspectives, this gripping story of lost innocence weaves together the lives affected by Davey's disappearance. Two decades later, the discovery of his iconic replica Marty McFly jacket by a man exploring his newly acquired property brings their intertwined fates into sharp focus. As old wounds reopen, the haunting question arises: will missing Davey ever be found?
Thaddeus Malcor, Davey's older brother, is on a book tour when he receives the shocking news about the jacket. Plagued by guilt and haunted by his estranged family, Thaddeus struggles to come to terms with his past mistakes. Their mother, Tabitha, now alone in the home filled with memories, battles the lifelong consequences of that tragic evening. Faced with yet another media storm, she grapples with her past choices while clinging to the hope of reuniting her fractured family. The novel delves into the deep scars left on this small community, illuminating the lives of Anissa, the police department's public information officer linked to the case, and Gordon, the man long accused yet never convicted. The impact of this crime on the innocent people present that night is profoundly moving. While I wished for a more in-depth conclusion, this is merely a personal preference. Beautifully written and heart-wrenching, Every Moment Since is a captivating exploration of grief, loss, and life in a small community after tragedy. 4/5

I liked this low burn of a mystery, coupled with domestic drama. I feel like I have read a lot of similar storylines recently and found this one to be well written if a little slow. Narration was very well done!

Gripping Small-Town Mystery with Awesome Narrators

4.5

Every Moment Since pulls you into the heart of a small Southern town, where grief, secrets, and family drama swirl around the cold case of missing boy Davy Malcor. When his jacket is found after 20 years, the town—and Davy’s family—are forced to relive that heartbreaking night.

The story focuses on four key characters: Davy’s older brother, Thaddeus, who’s become famous for writing a memoir that doesn’t quite tell the full truth; their mom, Tabitha, who’s drowning in guilt; Anissa, the family’s Public Information Officer with a secret of her own; and Gordon Swift, who’s spent decades as the main suspect. With the case back in the spotlight, their lives get turned upside down again.

The audiobook totally nails it thanks to an awesome line-up of narrators. Each voice really brought the characters to life, making it easy to connect with their struggles and emotions. It made the story that much more gripping.

There’s a lot of raw emotion here—grief, regret, guilt—alongside the suspense of figuring out what happened to Davy. While it slows down a bit in the middle when the characters are dealing with their inner turmoil, the family dynamics and the mystery keep things interesting.

If you’re into small-town dramas with a lot of heart and a solid mystery, Every Moment Since is definitely worth a listen. The narration is spot on, making it a great choice for audiobook lovers!

Thank you NetGalley, the author, & publisher for the ALC!

Davy Malcor has been missing from his small hometown of Wynotte, North Carolina for twenty years when the jacket he was wearing the night he disappeared is discovered and his case is reopened. Every Moment Since tells the story of the people most impacted by his disappearance, including his brother, his mother, the girl he met the night he vanished, and the man who everyone suspected was responsible for his disappearance. The story is told through alternating perspectives with some sections being set the night Davy disappeared and others being set during the reopened investigation.

This was a very emotional read, which I found to be an interesting approach to a cold case mystery. There was a little bit of the investigation, which kept the story moving forward, but it was much more about the emotional impact to all the characters who surrounded Davy. The characters were all really fleshed out and although I didn't always like the characters or their actions, they were handled with such care and added a lot to the story. I listened to the audiobook and all of the members of the cast did a great job with their parts, although at the beginning it was a bit difficult to tell who was who. This would be a great mystery for people who enjoy character driven stories and emotional stories.

This was a super heavy read that deals with the devastation of a loved one going missing. I did feel that the pacing was a bit off and slow.

I am a huge mystery and crime novel fan, so this book was great to me. Especially because I feel like I always have an inkling on who is responsible, and I didn't start to put the pieces together until right before it was revealed in the novel. I found the audio quality to be good, with decent production. I would recommend to anyone that enjoys a good mystery/crime novel.

A young boy goes missing, his family devastated, a town in crisis and a man who will find his life immensely changed. The book opens twenty years after his unsolved disappearance, when the case is reopened after Danny’s jacket is found.

This is an emotionally touching story. It is the little details the author adds, showing us the characteristics that lie beneath the surface of the characters. We learn what has happened to those who were touched by the loss of Danny. The reopening of the case also brings new or withheld information to the forefront.

Beautiful cover, impactful read.
Judge not and you shall not be judged. Accusations, even unproven ones, can destroy a persons life.
Excellent narration.

ARC from Netgalley.

Wow! If you’re looking for a new audiobook to listen to, look no further. I highly recommend EVERY MOMENT SINCE by Marybeth Mayhew Whalen. It’s narrated by a full cast, and it was extremely well done. I was very impressed. This brand new release is centered around a little boy who disappeared without a trace over twenty years ago. Some new evidence has been found, and now his case has been reopened. The novel flips from past to present between four different people who were deeply affected by the boy’s disappearance, and the reader begins to fit the puzzle pieces together. All of the characters were super solid and well-developed, but I couldn’t help but connect with the Tabitha, the matriarch of the family the most. Losing a child is any parent’s worst nightmare, so it was very easy for me to relate to her.

I absolutely loved this book. I enjoyed the flashbacks to the past to get the story of what happened the night Davy went missing. I also enjoyed the multiple points of view. I was definitely not expecting the ending but I mean that in a good way.

I have not read any books by this author before but because I enjoyed this reading experience so much, I will look for more in the future!

Thank you to the publisher for allowing me to listen to the audiobook as an arc.

This story revolves around a missing boy and the quest for the truth. I believe it was well-written because it presents multiple perspectives and effectively conveys the impact of the unfolding events on everyone involved.

Every Moment Since is a dual timeline mystery about Davy Malcor, a sweet 11 year old boy who was good at juggling, obsessed with Back to the Future, and loved his big brother TJ. Davy follows TJ to a party one night in 1985 and is never seen again. In the present day (2006), there is news in Davy's cold case. The Marty McFly jacket his mom made him for his birthday that he was wearing that night has just been found in a shed near the field from where he disappeared.

Things have moved on since his disappearance as life does. TJ, who now goes by Thaddeus, has written a memoir about the events surrounding Davy's disappearance and entitled it "Every Moment Since". The book has became wildly popular and Thaddeus is touring because of it. Tabitha Malcor, Davy and Thaddeus's mother, was at a party with her husband the night that Davy went missing. Today, she and her husband are divorced and she still lives in the family house. Anissa was a young girl who met Davy at the party the night he disappeared. She was the last one to see him before he disappeared and has kept that fact a secret all of these years. She now works for the local sheriff's department as a press liaison. Gordon Swift is a local artist whom Davy and Anissa were spying on the night he disappeared. He has been blamed for Davy's disappearance for the last 20+ years because of the location of where he disappeared, thus ruining his reputation, but they never could find enough evidence to pin it on him.

This novel was told from many characters POV's including all mentioned above. They work seamlessly with the dual timeline to provide a clear picture of the events of the night that Davy disappeared. The author does a great job of showing rather than telling about the events which makes the story even better. This book was tagged as a thriller and I wouldn't call it such- definitely more of a mystery. However, the storytelling is fantastic. I absolutely loved the use of multiple narrators in the audio book. It made for a highly enjoyable listening experience.

4.5 stars rounded down to 4. Thank you to Harper Muse and NetGalley for the ARC (ALC)!

I think this book being categorized as a mystery, lowered my rating. I'm an avid mystery reader and went into this one engrossed immediately in the characters and the answer to the mystery. This book is really a character driven story of grief and loss more than it is a mystery. The story wasn't set up in such a way to have a bunch of possible suspects and very early on, it was obvious who was involved. I love a good character driven story and would have rated this higher, except throughout I just kept feeling let down by the mystery of the story and it took away from the full enjoyment and feels this story gives. I listened to this and that was amazing with a full cast of voices.

This book was a slow burn, much more a character study than a mystery or thriller. The reveal in the end was not a surprising twist, but the story was (for me at least) more about the effect this missing little boy, Davey, had on his family and community.

Haunting and sad, and maybe missing a little bit of intrigue, it was still quite good. I listened to the audio and thought the narrators were outstanding. I do love when characters have their own narrators

In 1985, 11 year old Davy goes missing to never be found again. In this small community there is level of concern and fear surrounding this missing child. His brother, TJ, who was with him just shortly before missing was profoundly disturbed by his disappearance. When TJ is an adult he writes the story of his missing brother and the circumstances around it.

Things continue along these lines of past and present creating a beautiful tapestry of grief, pain, loss, fear and concern for those in the community and family. I found this book to be engaging and interesting.

I need to give extra focus in the audiobook as time changes and certain excerpts from TJ's book were thrown in.
