'Clever and compelling' Dorothy Koomson
'Very punchy and terrifyingly plausible' Sunday Mirror
'Linda Green is bloody brilliant!' Amanda Prowse

A
nail-biting psychological drama for fans of the Richard & Judy sensation THE LAST THING SHE TOLD ME

One, two, three . . .

Lisa Dale shuts her eyes and counts to one hundred during a game of hide-and-seek. When she opens them, her four-year-old daughter Ella is gone. Disappeared without a trace. The police, the media and Lisa's family all think they know who snatched Ella.

But what if the person who took her isn't a stranger? What if they are convinced they are doing the right thing? And what if Lisa's little girl is in danger of disappearing forever?

I actually loved this book so much just could not put it down... The characters seemed so real in my mind and its scary to think how easy this could happen in real life... It was so well written... You felt like you knew each character personally and felt what they are feeling through out the book... Its all about little Ella going missing from the park and ending up staying at Muriels for a week... The piano lady Muriel really thought she was doing right by keeping the child and every other chapter was told from her point of view... Then the other chapters were told from Lisa (Ella's Mum) and Matthew as a diary entry what he was keeping... Such a good story I really recommend and give it 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🤗👍
