Description
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'An absolutely gripping reflection on the true crime phenomenon, and the various victims of both the initial crime and its exploitation for entertainment.' — NetGalley Reviewer
The perfect mystery to solve for fans of Holly Jackson and Cara Hunter.
A missing girl. An angry mother. A true crime documentary.
Ten years ago, Katy, a promising young journalist, left her desk and was never seen again.
Someone knows what happened to her…
The controlling boyfriend? The inappropriate professor? The clingy colleague?
When Katy went missing, it wasn’t just her devastated mother, Grace, whose life was ruined. Now, a new documentary delving into the missing person case threatens to open old wounds.
As Grace gets closer to the truth, she discovers just how far people are willing to go to keep the past hidden.
Readers have been drawn into the mystery, will you?
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'The author did a great job at showing the complexities of life after someone goes missing and the way true crime documentaries that we are all so enamoured by aren't just TV shows… they're lives.'
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I found myself reading late into the night because I couldn’t put it down.'
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Well written, engrossing, and quite realistic, the story grabbed me and would not let me go.'
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'What truly makes this novel stand out is its insightful exploration of the emotional toll experienced by those left behind when a loved one disappears.'
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'This book was awesome; it was a different take on a crime book.'
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Fast-paced and engaging! This book had my head spinning and reeling (in a good way).'
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'So many captivating twists and turns.'
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'This book had a bit of everything! It had high suspense, action, murder, mystery, kidnapping, great detective work, a great whodunit and some crazy twists and turns! The storyline was so very interesting and had me glued to my kindle.'
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'A brilliant read filled with mystery and tension throughout; I really couldn't put it down. For me, this is definitely one to watch; you're in for a treat.'
