HOW CAN A CHILD GO MISSING WITHOUT A TRACE?

Last night, eight-year-old Daisy Mason disappeared from a family party. No one in the quiet suburban street saw anything - or at least that's what they're saying.

DI Adam Fawley is trying to keep an open mind. But he knows the nine times out of ten, it's someone the victim knew.

That means someone is lying...
And that Daisy's time is running out.

This was an interesting read with a ridiculous ending. I wasn't a fan of the lack of chapters, it's tricky to put a book down when it doesn't have a natural stopping point and while I understand it was a unique way to tell the story, I prefer chapters.

The mystery itself was interesting but if I'm honest, the ending made the 300+ pages before it completely useless??? Like it came out of nowhere and i just didn't get it.

Will definitely read the next book - it has a prologue, which points to chapters (phew) and I actually really like the police especially Everitt and Fawley.
