A thriller I never got around to seeing back at the time. It starts well enough with 2 young kids going to live with their guardians after their parents are in an accident. Although are their guardians as nice as they think they are? It starts to unravel quite well with new bits of information being discovered, quite an intricate web of deceit. Just as it all builds up towards the finale it has an ending that feels rather rushed and not fitting the rest of the film. Could have been better. Currently on Amazon prime.

A gripping thriller and considering it incorporates a lot of my usually least favorite themes (missing kid, unfaithful partners...) it speaks a lot to how good a writer Hillier is. that I bombed through this once I started it.

The lives of the rich and stylish often grate but I was fully in for celebrity hair stylish Marin's turbulent existence following the abduction of her young son.

This book went in unexpected directions and despite some eyebrow-raising coincidences kept me on board for the whole journey.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the copy.
