The million-copy bestselling author B A Paris returns with a breathtaking thriller.

'We're in a new Golden Age of suspense writing now, because of amazing books like Bring Me Back' Lee Child

'Made me stay up way beyond my bedtime!' Jane Corry

Finn and Layla: young and in love, their whole lives ahead of them. Driving back from a holiday in France one night, Finn pulls in to a service station, leaving Layla alone in the car. When he returns, minutes later, Layla has vanished, never to be seen again. That's the story Finn tells the police. It's the truth - but not the whole truth.

Twelve years later, Finn has built a new life with Ellen, Layla's sister, when he receives a phone call. Someone has seen Layla. But is it her - or someone pretending to be her? If it is her, what does she want? And what does she know about the night she disappeared?

Bring Me Back is the utterly compelling, white-knuckle thriller from Sunday Times bestseller B A Paris.

'A cracking page turner with a killer twist' Camilla Way

I received this book for free from the publisher through Netgalley for a review. This was another excellent book by B.A. Paris. I would recommend this book to any mystery/thriller reader and tell them to set some time aside because once they start they wont want to stop until the end. I was drawn in right away and finished the book within a few hours. Finn and his girlfriend Lyla are happy together and in love until the night that Lyla disappears. Years pass with no sign of Lyla, Finn has moved on and is about to be married when suddenly he starts to receive emails and find objects in his home which make him believe Lyla is alive. Has his old girlfriend returned or is someone else trying to play a game with him? I think the author did a good job keeping the action moving, creating characters that I cared about, and having a twist that I didn't see coming. I can't wait for the next B.A. Paris novel.
