Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read this great debut thriller!
I really enjoyed this book - it would be a great book club book with lots of different characters to delve into.
The story opens with the bathtub drowning death of 9-year-old Lucas at a dinner party at his own home. A child guest at the party is the one who discovers the body but refuses to say a word about what happened. Lucas' brother carries the grief and anxieties forward into his adult life. Which is where we find ourselves in the heart of the book - Frances, the brother, returns to his hometown. His father has been obsessed with Sam, the boy who found Lucas dead, convinced that he killed his son. Then Sam's 9-year-old son goes missing.
It's a great thrill ride with plenty of suspense and twists. Can't wait to read more from this author!
