From Little Stack
All of Gillian’s novels have an element of motherhood nestled inside, but this one in particular stuck with me!
22-year-old Olivia has been missing for one day… and counting. She was last seen on CCTV, entering a dead-end alley. Julia, the detective heading up the search thinks she knows what to expect, but has no idea just how close to home this case is going to get…
I completely fell in love with Julia; a mother and hard-working detective who will do anything to protect those she cares about. Intense, unnerving and perfectly paced.
Twisty and complex, with unexpected turns…and characters you really root for.
From the author of the Reese's Book Club Pick and the New York Times bestseller Wrong Place Wrong Time comes a new heart-stopping thriller in which a missing-person case unravels deeper, darker secrets that lead a detective to an impossible moral choice.
Not everyone who is lost should be found…
Twenty-two-year-old Olivia has been missing for one day…and counting. She was last seen on CCTV, entering a dead-end alley. And not coming back out again.
Julia, the detective heading up the search for Olivia, thinks she knows what to expect. A desperate family, a ticking clock, and long hours away from her husband and daughter. But she has no idea just how close to home this case is going to get.
Because the criminal at the heart of the disappearance has something she never expected. His weapon isn't a gun, or a knife: it's a secret. Her worst one. And her family's safety depends on one thing: Julia must NOT find out what happened to Olivia - and must frame somebody else for her murder.
If you find her, you will lose everything. What would you do?
This clever and endlessly surprising thriller is laced with a clever look at family and motherhood, and cements Gillian McAllister as a major talent in the world of suspense and a master of creating ethical dilemmas that show just how murky the distinction between right and wrong can be.
