Many thanks to NetGalley and Random House Ballantine Bantam for gifting me a digital ARC of this novel by Imran Mahmood - 4 stars!
Harry and Zara King have revolved their life around their only child, Sophie. As Sophie has gotten older and started to rebel, tension is high in the house. One day, she leaves the house and doesn't come back. The police have no clues and the couple are desperate. They take matters into their own hand as far as investigating and soon are convinced of someone's guilt, and he's not talking.
This is a slow burn book, focusing more on how Harry and Zara deal with their grief and obsession over finding Sophie. The story plays out through alternating POV of the couple, as well as scenes from a courtroom trial. The writing is wonderful, and you feel the couple's angst over Sophie as well as the fact that their relationship is now falling apart. I also liked how the courtroom decision played out. It's a tense and gripping story until the last page!
