This book was just bleh....I was very much let down by the ending.
How could I hate a book but intrigued enough to keep reading? I had to know how it ended, so I skimmed the many boring parts
Jenny and Ted, two affluent doctors, their twin sons Theo and Ed and daughter Naomi had it all until one night Naomi didn't come home.
I disliked the characters, they were shallow and pathetic, the daughter was deplorable and the chapters were total confusion, each chapter is a different time period in the search for Naomi, and it did not flow well.
As for the end.....unbelievable, Inconceivable and unimaginable.
Don't waste your time.

Mildly suspenseful story about problems in an affluent family. The ending is surprising. This book can keep you engaged on a long train ride, but it's nothing to write home about.
Other reviewers didn't like this book very much. I found it hard to put down, in a way. I wanted to know the end. Even after reading the end, I'm not sure i know it. A parent, especially a mother will find parts of this hard to read, painful maybe. 90% was believable, some I did't quite buy. You judge for yourself, I can't explain without giving some away. I guess the 'take away' from this story is we don't really know our teenage/grown children as much as we should, as much as we think we do. Life gets in the way, jobs, etc. We think we're paying attention but we're not.
