When Helen and Sean Phillips' three-year-old daughter, Frankie, disappeared from her bedroom, their lives were turned upside down. In the past week, two other young children have been abducted. Izzy Hartley was taken from her home. Liam McConnell was removed from his mother's car. No ransom has been demanded. Detective Inspector Patrick Lennon has been assigned the case. He and his partner, D.S. Carmella Masiello have been tasked with finding the children and the person responsible for their abduction.
This is my first book by either of these authors, but it won't be my last. The book starts with a shocking prologue, after which I didn't want to stop reading. The story is told primarily from the points-of-view of Det. Lennon and Helen Phillips. There were many characters introduced in the first few chapters. I kept asking myself how some of them fit into the story. The plot holds many surprises. There were several twists I never saw coming. I'm still thinking about the ending and wondering what Detective Lennon's next move will be in his personal life. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
