Don't waste your time with this---very very slow, very very draggy, at least 100 pages too long, unlikeable characters, plodding storyline.
From the very beginning you can figure out the 'who' and then just go to the last 20 pages to get the 'why' and the in between doesn't matter. The characters are so unlikeable and irritating it was very hard just to get through a 100 pages and by that time it was so boring I just skipped and skimmed and I was done--
I had her next one Bad Friends on my wishlist but not anymore--
I know London authors have a different way of writing but when you get one that always has to use their 'slang' (and I got very tired of the 'f' word) and use their locations but it gets tedious after a while trying to stick with something in a location you're not familiar with--then you have page after page of nothing happening but the main character 'Jessica' being just a whiny wimp and it doesn't get any better.

Over all it was a good story line, but it just dragged out way to long. I knew exactly what was going to happen from the start, but I kept reading to seeing exactly how it would play out at the end. Nothing that jumps out as a plot twist.
Thriller about the search for a vanished baby.
When Jessica Finnegan's husband suggested they take in a new display at the Tate Museum, she was delighted that her workaholic husband join her and their infant son for a holiday. But Jessica became separated from Mick and the baby, and it seemed they had vanished into thin air. Then Mick was found, beaten and unconscious. But where was baby Louis?
Nicely suspenseful and twisty, with a heroine both flawed and resilient. The perceptive reader will have sussed most of it out by the climax, but it's an intriguing trip.
