My Review


This was one of those reads that went by in a flash and when i was not reading it I was thinking about it.


On the hottest night of the year Carolyn Harvey is found laying dead, murdered over the cot of the child she was babysitting if the crime could not be any more shocking we discover the baby she was looking after is missing.


hundreds of miles away Siobhan, Callum, and their teen daughter Emma are enjoying their holiday at a beautiful French villa. All seems perfect when suddenly the police arrive and Callum is arrested for the murder.


the story toss and turns us from England to France as the crime is pieced together and the intergation of Callum and the questions his arrest pose play out. Family drama, secrets and lies are all spilled as the truth is uncovered


As a spoiler free blog it is hard to discuss more from this read and so much of it is so deliciously complex and twisty that any comment can give away a plot point!


The read was so very well done, the characters are relatable and felt very real and the story has some amazing twists that I really did not see coming and plot points that leave you guessing right till the end!


The perfectly enthrawling summer read, and one that will keep you on your toes!
