My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this psychological thriller in which an experienced nurse, Emily, seeks her much-loved, missing sister, Zoe. She feels alone in her quest. Even those whom she trusted most gradually start to believe that her obsession with finding Zoe is turning her mind. Even Emily wonders if she is hallucinating.
Zoe is not the only missing person. Emily is sure that a patient is also missing from the hospital in which she had minor surgery but everyone in that hospital denies that the patient ever existed. This is hardly an original storyline, but it works very well in this book and ties in with the doubts that already exist in our protagonist’s mind.
The pace is generally quite fast, although it does droop a little in places. The last few chapters bring the Detective Inspector Geraldine Sutton, who has been involved in the case of Zoe’s disappearance form the very beginning, into the action. Even she has doubts, but she is a strong character.
It’s a great read. I highly recommend it.
