There are three things no-one can prepare you for when your daughter goes missing:

- You are haunted by her memory day and night
- Even close friends can't understand what you are going through.
- Only in a group with mothers of other lost children can you find real comfort.

But as the parents gather to offer each other support in the wake of another disappearance, a crack appears in the group that threatens to rock their lives all over again.

Welcome to the club no one wants to join.

This wasn't to my taste. I keep trying with Tammy Cohen's books, but she's just not my type of author, and I have to accept that. She's a good writer, but she doesn't really go for it the way other thriller writers do. I wasn't on the edge of my seat, I wasn't DYING to get to the next chapter, I didn't really care who the perp was because there wasn't enough time spent building UP the perp. The best thrillers, I find, are the ones where we get sneaky looks into the perps life, and while we do get that here, they are too few and far in between, with more time spent on the parents of the kids who died, who are all grieving and going through the motions, but that's not where the action was, sadly. Even the whole evil reporter thing didn't make any sense, because it just didn't go anywhere. She was hardly Rita Skeeter. Not my kind of book, I'm afraid.
