The New York Times bestselling author of The Widow returns with a brand new novel of twisting psychological suspense about every parent's worst nightmare...
When two eighteen-year-old girls go missing in Thailand, their families are thrust into the international spotlight: desperate, bereft, and frantic with worry. What were the girls up to before they disappeared?
Journalist Kate Waters always does everything she can to be first to the story, first with the exclusive, first to discover the truth--and this time is no exception. But she can't help but think of her own son, whom she hasn't seen in two years, since he left home to go travelling.
As the case of the missing girls unfolds, they will all find that even this far away, danger can lie closer to home than you might think...
Typical mystery read. Maybe I’ve just read too many books of this type. I was never surprised by the twists and turns in this book. I always seemed to be one step ahead and knew exactly what was coming up each step of the way. That’s not to say that this book didn’t have quite a few big reveals, I just knew about them beforehand.
I gave it three stars because it didn't take me long to get involved in the story despite it being somewhat predictable. I enjoyed how the story went back and forth between the reporter, detective, one of the missing girls, and one of the mothers. I felt that the characters were developed enough, but I didn't particularly like or resonate with any of them. But the plot and writing were easy to read and made it for a fast paced read despite it being quite long.
