Many thanks to NetGalley and William Morrow for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by Gillian McAllister. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
It's June 21st, the longest day of the year, and new mother Camilla's life will never be the same. After her maternity leave, she's going to drop off Polly at nursery and return to work a a literary agent. But when she wakes up, her husband Luke is no where to be found. In his place, a cryptic note on the table. Then breaking news about a hostage situation erupts and the police tell her Luke is involved, but not as a hostage.
Wow - I read a lot of thrillers but this one really grabbed me from the very beginning. Cam's strong belief in her husband and her disbelief that he could do something like this felt palpable. The tension kept ratcheting up as we hear from multiple POVs over a stretch of time. Niall, the hostage negotiator, was a fabulous character as well, just trying to do the right thing no matter what. This line from the book resonated with me throughout - "Funny how things look different depending on what you know to be true." Enough said because I don't want to give anything away - but this is a must read if you love thrillers!
