MY REVIEW
What I liked about this story... I particularly enjoyed following the story of Maggie who is an ageing widow who has a lot to tell about her past and it was very interesting to find out more. Maggie's story centres around the first girl's disappearance. I won't give any more details away but her story was the most interesting for me.
What I didn't like about this story... The one thing I always look for in a thriller/crime novel and that is suspense. Unfortunately, there didn't seem to be a great deal of that in this story. With great suspense in a novel like this, it would have made me turn the pages quicker and enjoy the story a little bit more. Instead, it made the story very slow to read and, to be honest, a bit boring in places.
In summary... A very interesting story split between two different disappearances. Slow paced but does have a very good twist ending...
