What She Knew

What a long ride through the trails and tribulations, the feelings of all involved, gut and heart wrenching, soulful and insightful read.

The story takes place in England. A single mom loses her 8 year old son on a walk through the woods. A walk they had taken countless times before. She had always kept him near her but the one day she allows him to go on ahead to a swing, alone, farther up the path, losing sight of him, he disappears.

The book is an account of each persons thoughts, feelings and actions after his disappearance. This includes the detectives involved in the case as well as many other people actively involved in the childs life.

It is every parents nightmare. So if your a parent it can be heart wrenching to read, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
This was a long book. I thought it was well thought out, well coordinated, nicely written. I deff recommend this book.
