I've known him all my life. I know he has taken my daughter. His mother says she can help me. But she's the last person I can trust...

Samuel lived next door when we were children. We were inseparable. But he didn’t like sharing me with my adored little brother. And one terrible night, he got rid of my brother forever…

Now, years later, he’s free. And my daughter is missing.

I turn on my baby girl’s unicorn nightlight and bury my face in her pillow, my heart breaking. I know Samuel has her – he blames me for ruining his life, and even after all this time, he still doesn’t like to share.

As darkness falls, there’s a knock at my door and I open it to see Samuel’s mother. She says she can help me.

I know I can’t trust her, but I don’t have a choice. With each step I take, my fear grows stronger. Can she help me find my daughter? Or does she know something about what really happened all those years ago? Something that could stop me from saving my baby girl…

I wasn’t sure if I would be able to read this book because I usually do not read anything concerning child abductions child abuse, etc. but this has so many twists and turns and was interesting. I decided to go with it. I’m glad I did. The unexpected results of this mystery were well done. The narrator did a good job also!

Family saga type thriller

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 23, 2022

Verified Purchase

I finished this book in a day but needed to think about it before writing a review. That's because for me while there were aspects of a thriller to it, it didn't fit the traditional mold of this genre and transcended into family saga more often than not. Josie is divorced from Terry. They have an 8 year old daughter, Ivy, who gets abducted from the child minder. A week earlier Samuel Barstow was released on early parole from prison after serving 25 of his 30 year sentence for the murder of Jose's brother Jimmy. Jimmy disappeared and was found locked in a sealed refrigeration unit where he suffocated. Josie herself a teenager at the time was in hospital having been knocked over by a car.

Who has taken Ivy? Is it Samuel as Josie keeps insisting? Is it Terry who owes for gambling debts? Is the child minder involved? Is Samuel's mother involved as she did lie for Samuel in the case of Jimmy at the time or is Josie an unreliable narrator of the events? 4 stars

I enjoy this authors books. This one wasnt my favorite but I was still entertained and somewhat kept guessing. Josie was not likeable and hard to sympathize with but the plot kept me wondering.

After reading this book I just sat and thought, WOW ! What a twist! Although I will say the thought of who the kidnapper was did cross my mind a few times , I read a lot of this genre so I’m pretty good at cracking the bad guy immediately , this kept me wondering if I was right!

Im not sure if it was a great shocker at the end, but this was some good story telling. Looking forward to reading more from this author. 4 stars from me

I felt this book didn’t really get going until about 2/3 of the way through. I did enjoy it anyway and would recommend it.

Outstanding!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 19, 2022

Verified Purchase

Oh My Goodness!! Where to even start with this book. I've said before that I always feel safe opening a KL Slater book. From the first page I feel totally safe that I'll be guided along a tense and intricate path of incredible storytelling, colourful and intriguing characters and an ending that will blow my socks off. The story starts with a bang and doesn't let up right until the last page. Every time I think I have one of this author's books sussed she just pulls the rug out from under my feet, again!!! Throughout the book I didn't know who I could trust and who I couldn't as the characters were so brilliantly drawn and even after twist after turn there was one huge shocker at the end that I did not see coming. An absolutely brilliant story, expertly written and highly recommended.

Gripping and clever

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 13, 2022

Verified Purchase

If there is one thing I have learned from reading KL Slater's books it's that in stories like this, everyone is a suspect. The most obvious appear dark, dangerous and loathsome, as Samuel does, but are more complex than you think. While those who seem all 'sweetness and light' may have hidden agendas. This is a gripping story and I agonised for Josie. Her thoughts exemplify how people who are universally hated can often end up being blamed for absolutely everything! There is no mistaking Samuel is despicable, as revealed by a sadistic streak from a young age. In my opinion though, the real villain in this tale is Pauline, Josie's mother. The way she treated her as a child really got to me. But as the deeper elements of her past unfolded, I got a creepy feeling where this was going and my hunch turned out to be correct; although it is a very disturbing twist. Whereas the ultimate hero has got to be Maggie, who has sacrificed everything to protect those she loves.

Pacy psychological thriller with twists aplenty

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 3, 2022

Verified Purchase

I always enjoy K L Slater's books and this one was no exception. I was reeled in straight away!

This tells the story of Josie and her daughter, Ivy. Josie has had a troubled childhood and tragically, her younger brother was murdered when she was just 13. Samuel Barlow, the man responsible, has served a 25 year sentence for his crime, but is now due for early release. Only days after, Josie's daughter goes missing....

I loved the underlying menace conveyed throughout the story and found the characters realistic and well drawn. I especially empathised with Josie and her terror and despair at finding her daughter missing. There are twists and turns aplenty leaving you not knowing who to trust or believe. The final twist was completely unexpected!

If you've read any of K L Slater's books before, you'll love this. And if you haven't, what are you waiting for!

Disappointed.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 26, 2022

Verified Purchase

I love K L Slater's books, and I did almost love this one. It was a scene at the end when all is revealed that I felt is totally not only improbable but to my mind impossible. Things that happened during that scene have not been explained. I re-read it several times in case I missed something. I don't want to give spoilers so can't voice my concerns.

Too many coincidences

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 12, 2023

Verified Purchase

Not one of Slater's best. There's way too much page-filling with details of making biscuits along with repetition of parts of the plot, as if the author has to produce a certain word count. The number of coincidences in terms of characters knowing each other or being in the right place at the right time is far-fetched.
