Many thanks to NetGalley, Gallery Books, and Heidi Perks for the opportunity to read this thriller - it kept me glued until the end - a 5 star read!
A parent's worse nightmare - Charlotte is at a crowded school fair with her 3 children and a friend's daughter. She turns away for a moment while the older kids go on a ride and just that quick, the friend's daughter is gone. Panic sets in, of course, but no one can find Alice anywhere. Charlotte has to tell her friend, Harriet, that her daughter is missing. Harriet was exceptionally close to Alice and this was the first time she had left Alice with someone else - Charlotte was her only friend in town. Soon both Harriet and the town turn against Charlotte.
Enough said because all the dynamics of these relationships need to play out as you read it for full effect. There were moments when I gasped out loud at the plot twists. The story is told in the voices of both Charlotte and Harriet in both Now and Before.
Highly recommended!
