★★★★★ 5 stars
Brilliant read! It begins with little Alice...and a shocking turn of events that rocks both hers and her mother's world.
Fast forward some 20 years later and we meet Abigail Thorne, husband Jackson and baby Izzy. Someone is stalking Abigail and her perfect life, sending her messages about "telling the truth" and taking everything from her. But Abigail has a secret that no one knows. Is this someone from her past? About to wreak havoc on the life she has built for herself? Abigail can't be sure, but someone is playing mind games with her...or so she thinks.
DI Robyn Carter has been working as a private investigator for the past year since her fiance's death in Marrakesh before returning to the Staffordshire Constabulary. Her PI partner and former colleague from the force, Ross Cunningham, tasks her with the job of a missing man, Lucas Matthews. What begins as a simple case of a missing man turns into something darker and deeper and race against time to save the life of a little girl.
Woven into the story along the way under the title of "THEN" tells the progressing story of little Alice, another little girl - the one the story opens with - and the horror she has endured as she grew into a withdrawn, anger-filled young woman hell bent on revenge against those who she blames for her's and her mother's downfall.
Overall it is a tragic story of a little girl's innocence lost. In the end, who is the little girl lost? Izzy, or little Alice from 20 years gone...?
Brilliant psychological read. Just how I like them.
