Many thanks to NetGalley, Berkley Publishing and Alex Dahl for the opportunity to read this gripping debut thriller - I can't wait to see what she writes next!
Cecelia has a perfect life - she's rich with a part-time job just to make her happy, an adoring husband, and 2 girls. But Cecelia is a perfectionist - everything in its place and everything scripted to make sure all appearances are maintained. Until the day that a little boy is left behind at the girls' swimming lessons on a rainy night. The receptionist can't get in touch with his mother and asks Cecelia to drop him off at his home. When she gets there, it is an abandoned house. Tobias, the little boy, begs Cecelia not to call the police. Instead, she takes him home for the night.
Thus sets the stage. We are told this story through the voices of Cecelia, Tobias and the journals of Annika - a drug addict. There are many twists and turns in this book and I couldn't put it down! A fabulous debut.
