Both of you- Adele Parks- general fiction/ mystery/thriller

Leigh had almost given up hope of finding a partner or having a family so

a chance encounter with Mark and his two young sons led to marriage

and Leigh being happier than she ever could have expected. When she

leaves for work Monday to Thursday as normal and there is no

communication as normal, Mark to begin with isnt suspicious as they

had  a bit of a spat and thought she was sulking. When Thursday came

around and still no Leigh, he had to report her as missing. Kai lives

with her Dutch husband Daan and leads a luxurious lifestyle not too

far away from Leigh. She spends some of the week away looking after

her elderely mother. Both women have very suddenly disappeared.

Are the two cases connected ? We get chapters from a woman

who is being held captive not quite knowing why or how she was

taken and most importantly who. She gets occasional typed notes

pushed through the door. A read where one minute you like the

character and the next chapter are thinking “ what? why'' ? 

A very well written book to engage and keep the pages turning.

There is the mention of the forthcoming lockdown (the first book

I’ve come across so far with this in ) which did make me wonder

how the characters would react. A very well thought out plot and

one that kept me in suspense. Clever.
