Linda's narrative voices are flawless and the rhythm of her prose is pitch perfect.' —Debi Alper 'I could not put this novel down! Disturbing and compelling... a psychologically astute, edge-of-the-seat story.' —Hilary Johnson They stared at each other, and Maggie felt the tightness in her middle expand as it shifted, burning its way up... Painful sobs rose from her throat as Colin, his face expressionless now, reached for his mobile and dialled 999. When three-year-old Olivia disappears, her parents are overwhelmed with grief. Weeks go by and Olivia's mother refuses to leave the cottage, staring out at the turbulent sea and praying it didn't claim her precious daughter's life. Not far away, another mother watches proudly as her daughter starts school. Jennifer has loved Hailey for five years, but the child is suddenly moody and difficult, and there's a niggling worry of doubt that Jennifer cannot shake off. As she struggles to maintain control there are gaps in her story that even she can't explain. Time is running out for Maggie at the cottage, and also for Jennifer and Hailey. No-one can underestimate a mother's love for her child, and no-one can predict the lengths one will go to, to protect her family. A psychological page-turner, perfect for fans of Linda Green, Alex Marwood and Sophie Hannah. HTML:June 29, 2015 At the start of this poignant psychological thriller from Huber (The Paradise Trees), Maggie and Colin Granger are enjoying a perfect day at a Cornwall beach, until their three-year-old daughter, Olivia, disappears. Did someone take Olivia, or did she wander into the sea? Meanwhile, in a nearby town, Jennifer Marshall prepares to send her daughter, Hailey, to primary school, while her husband, Phillip, cares for his dying grandmother in London. Hailey’s strange behavior, however, is putting a damper on the joy Jennifer feels at being pregnant with twins. It’s soon obvious why Hailey is acting so oddly, and Jennifer’s behavior becomes equally disturbing. The search for Olivia takes a heavy toll on Maggie and Colin’s marriage, but the main focus is on the slow-moving train wreck that’s Hailey’s story, which eventually intersects with Olivia’s. Though the narrative lacks suspense, Huber effectively explores grief, mental illness, and the destruction that such illness so often leaves in its wake.. Publisher's Weekly. Fiction. Mystery.
