Many thanks to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer Amazon Publishing for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by Teresa Driscoll. All opinions expressed in this review are my own – 4.5 stars!
Private investigator Matthew Hill just got the call that no parent ever wants to get. His wife, Sally, was shopping with their 8-year-old daughter, Amelie, when she disappeared. His worst nightmare has come true – Matthew left the police force years ago when a woman blamed him for her son’s death and promised that one day he would feel her pain. Now the clock is ticking to find Amelie.
This was gripping from the very first page. We’ve all experienced that moment of incredible panic when our own child suddenly isn’t where they are supposed to be, but the world usually rights itself quickly. So you instantly relate to how Matthew and Sally feel. Plus there is added guilt, because Matthew always feared this day would come. I also liked the police investigator, Melanie, and how she desperately tried to do right for her friends, at a cost to her own personal life. These two are return characters from Driscoll’s previous novels, but all are totally stand alone as well. Couldn’t put this one down – can’t wait for more from this author!
