Also, alas, I had this mystery figured out pretty early on, so the two twists in the book ended up not being twists at all for me. The writing was good, and telling the story from different characters' points of view kept things interesting, but overall the book just did not grab me. It wasn't bad - just wasn't great.

Fiction.
Suspense.
Thriller.
HTML: From the bestselling author of If You Knew Her comes this harrowing tale of suspenseâ??a story ripped from today's headlinesâ??of a tight-knit English community, who's rocked by the murder of a mother and the mysterious disappearance of her daughter, and the secrets that lie concealed beneath a carefully constructed facade. A shocking, senseless crimeâ??and the dark secret at the heart of it all. Everyone in Ashford, Cornwall, knows Meg Nichols and her daughter, Grace. Meg has been selflessly caring for Grace for years, and Graceâ??smiling and optimistic in spite of her many illnessesâ??adores her mother. So when Meg is found brutally bludgeoned in her bed and her daughter missing, the community is rocked. Meg had lived in terror of her abusive, unstable ex, convinced that he would return to try and kidnap Grace...as he had once before. Now it appears her fear was justified. Jon Katrin, a local journalist, knows he should avoid getting drawn back into this story. The article he wrote about Meg and Grace caused rifts within his marriage and the town. Perhaps if he can help find Grace, he can atone for previous lapses in judgment. The Nichols' neighbor, Caraâ??contending with her own guilt over not being a better friend to Graceâ??becomes an unexpected ally. But in searching for Grace, Jon and Cara uncover anomalies that lead to more and more questions. Through multiple viewpoints and diary entries, the truth about Grace emerges, revealing a tragedy more twisted than anyone could have Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Although there wasn't a lot of intrigue for me because I was previously familiar with this case, I enjoyed Elgar's writing style immensely and the characters were well developed which I always appreciate in this genre of writing. Her writing was simple yet incredibly purposeful. I love the balance of suspense, family dynamics and life in a small town and is a great reminder of the question, who can you really trust?
