Synopsis
Charlotte waves at her mother across the crowded lawn. Little red boots on, cowboy hat crooked over her blonde pigtails, she’s been looking forward to this party for weeks. Moments later, she disappears without a trace… Kathy Hamilton drives away from her sister-in-law’s pristine-white suburban house in Maple Falls certain she’s left her daughter in safe hands. On the hottest day of the year, a birthday is the perfect excuse to gather friends, family and neighbors around the pool for a barbecue. But when she returns hours later to find her little girl has vanished, her world shatters. Nobody laughing and drinking in the garden that day saw anything unusual. Kathy’s eldest daughter is anxious and hardly eating. Is she sick with worry for her sister, or hiding a terrible secret? The phone rings and rings, but why can’t Kathy get hold of the babysitter? And is she imagining it, or when her husband rushed from work to join the search, was he wearing a different shirt to the one she saw him leave the house in that morning? As the temperature rises, and long-buried secrets begin to surface, it’s clear that even the most perfect families keep devastating secrets. But in a town as small as this, is there anyone you can trust? A totally gripping and utterly addictive page-turner that will have you racing through and reeling at the twists. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Gone Girl and Teresa Driscoll, it will keep you up reading all night long!
My Review
This is a brilliant book. I couldn't put it down. Its so exciting and thrilling that you find yourself on the edge of your seat, quickly turning the pages wanting to know whats going to happen next. There were so many unexpected twists and turns it was out of this world. I kept saying out loud NO WAY!! I loved how the author introduced all the characters and how she interconnected them as so you wouldn't expect any one of them as the murderer but one has betrayed there trust but which one? Well thats for you to work out but let's say it was shocking. I listened to the audiobook and thought the narrator was good. At the start of the audiobook I struggled slightly with the speed of it but soon got used to it without get confused. This book contains that magnificent sense of atmosphere and tension has good thrillers need to get that 5th star. And I loved it. The story-line was amazing having all the unexpected events kept me immersed in the book, hardly coming up for air. The flow of the book was excellent and it really kept my concentration on the book itself. I will definitely be looking out for more titles by this author. So much praise goes out to the author and publishers for creating this magnificent tension filled, gripping, edge of your seat, page turning thriller.
