A mother desperate for the truth. A daughter hiding a terrible secret.
Melanie Oak appeared to have the perfect life. Married to her childhood sweetheart, Jacob, the couple live with their beautiful, loving, teenage daughter, Beth, in a pretty village.
Nothing can shake her happiness - until the day that Beth goes missing and is discovered beaten almost to the point of death, her broken body lying in a freezing creek on the marshes near their home.
Consumed with grief, Melanie is determined to find her daughter's attacker. Someone in the village must have seen something. Why won't they talk?
As Melanie tries to piece together what happened to Beth, she discovers that her innocent teenager has been harboring some dark secrets of her own. The truth may lie closer to home and put Melanie's life in terrible danger.
A completely gripping psychological thriller with a twist you won't see coming.
This book is a parent's worse nightmare. Your child is lying in a coma in a hospital. Melanie Oaks is bound and determined to find out who did this to her daughter. The characters were interesting and the plot was solved by a complete surprise twist in the end that I did not see coming. I will look forward to my next Copperthwaite book in the near future.

Had high hopes for this but a big disappointment, as too much filler and of course it has the killer's thoughts in italics? why? irritating
Gets right into what happened to Beth and from that point (about page 6) it's mostly about Melanie's thoughts about her daughter and how much she loves her over and over and over
I don't have time to waste on poorly written books and I consider this poor
