Recenzii
It is gripping and full of emotion . . . yet the twist at the end makes you question your assumptions, and really makes you think about the nature of a mother-daughter relationship and how different it can be from each side of the coin
We absolutely loved this book. It's about a GP and her family and the sudden horror that devastates their lives when their 16-year-old daughter disappears one night. It's difficult to believe that this accomplished book is a debut
Ostensibly a suspense novel about the disappearance of a teenage girl, this taut and thought-provoking debut novel explores a working mother's guilt, something all-too familiar to many of us
Thrilling, yet written with depth and subtlety, and tender insight into parental love
Complex and baffling. Jane Shemilt builds layer upon layer of tension in a novel you won't be able to put down
Gripping to the last page!
Taut and thought-provoking
Utterly gripping. A tautly coiled spring of suspicion and suspense which builds to a devastating ending
A wonderful plot, full of tantalising reasons to read on, and of course with a killer twist at the end. What impressed me most was (. . .) the impossibility of truly knowing those closest to us, the pressures of parenthood - in particular working motherhood, and the terrible loss at the heart of all parenting: they grow up and away

Textul de pe ultima copertă
A mother driven to the brink by uncertainty . . .
A family that was never quite as perfect as it seemed.
Jenny is a successful family doctor, the mother of three teenagers, married to her loving husband, Ted, a neurosurgeon. But when her youngest, fifteen-year-old Naomi, doesn't come home after her school play, the seemingly ideal life Jenny has built begins to crumble. The authorities launch an investigation, but Naomi has vanished, and her family is broken.
As the months pass, the trail goes cold. Yet for a desperate Jenny, the search has barely begun. More than a year later, she's still digging for answers—and what she finds disturbs her. Everyone she thought she knew has been keeping secrets, especially Naomi. Piecing together the traces her daughter left behind, Jenny discovers a very different Naomi from the girl she thought she'd raised.
Jenny must uncover the whole truth about her daughter—a twisting, painful journey into the past that will lead to an almost unthinkable revelation . . .
