"Astonishingly good." (C. L. Taylor)

"A taut, psychologically gripping, gut-wrenching thriller from one of my favourite writers." (Lisa Jewell)

Members Reviews:

Did not see that coming

Different from the usual whodunit book. The story focusses on the families and characters surrounding murdered children. Some of the characters invoke sympathy but some are downright unlikable. I thou get I had the story figured out about half way through then realised there was a twist, thought I'd guessed the twist and was totally wrong! Fab book, fab ending. This is the second book by Tammy Cohen that I've listened to and I will now be seeking out more.

Weird and wonderful...

I expected a story of murder and mystery, which in effect it was, with its dark and evil context of missing and abused children, but at the same time, the story was one of love, intrigue, drama and comedy. I'm still not sure if the "slap stick" humour fits this genre, but I guess it made it a little easier to listen to, psychologically. I felt that the narration was a little forced at times. But all in all, it was a good story, with a nicely resolved ending.
