âMummy, she's goneâ¦'
Gemma Ballantine is getting ready for work one morning when her eldest child comes running down the stairs, saying the words every mother dreads.
The front door is open. And her six-year-old daughter has disappeared. Frantic with fear, Gemma starts a nail-biting search for her little girl.
After what feels like forever, her mother-in-law Diane finds Katie wandering lost a few streets away. Relieved to have her youngest child back in her arms, breathing in the sweet scent of her hair, Gemma thinks the nightmare is over.
But then her perfect family starts to fall apart.
And she realizes it's only just beginningâ¦
This is an addictive psychological thriller of secrets, lies and betrayal. It has interesting characters and a plot with a heart stopping final twist. This may be Shalini Boland's best book ever. If you love psychological thrillers then this book is for you. I would recommend this book as a great read that you will love.
