When you disappeared- John Marrs- 5**

John has a talent. A talent for grabbing his reader, captivating them and not letting go. A man disappeared 25 years ago leaving a wife and 3 children. No note, no body, nothing. The story alternates between then and now telling what has happened and why to each party- the wife and the husband. You know that there is something, just a little something more but not quite what. You realise that maybe you are feeling sympathy for the wrong party- but just who is the wronged party- him or her? A cleverly thought out brilliantly told tale that you won’t want to put down. One of my top reads of the year.
