Summary

‘I LOVED it… A fast-paced, tense and twisty read.’ 5 stars, NetGalley reviewer

It's one year since her sister vanished. Now, another girl is missing…

One year ago, Amelia Taylor’s sister, Lark, disappeared from a family holiday in the Scottish Highlands.

The police are convinced that Lark was abducted, but with no new leads, the case has gone cold. Amelia is certain the answer lies at the holiday cottage and she returns to the place where her sister went missing.

But during her second night at the cottage a shrill scream cuts through the darkness, just as it did a year ago, and a sense of dread engulfs everyone.

Another girl has vanished.

Leading the search, Amelia is convinced that both girls are alive, waiting to be found. But someone is determined to keep her from the truth at all costs

Will Amelia be able to find her sister, or is she too about to find herself in danger?

Fans of Ruth Ware’sThe Turn of the Key and Martyn Ford’s Every Missing Thing will love Amanda Brittany!

Great twist!

This one was a bit slow to start - this authors often are but then they grip you! Great twists and turns as always and the last one I definitely did not see coming!!

Could not stop it until final

There is gripping and there is mesmerising. It was fascinating from the start and the twists and turns kept changing the story constantly. All hunches and clues seemed obsolete before reappearing and still the final was again not what you might expect. Only negative part of Amanda Brittany’s stories is the housework which get very difficult to finish when you stop and listen and stare half the time trying not to miss a beat. Need a simple story for a change now to get some work done again while listening but I will happily return to another story by the author for another dose of complete fascination.
