Twenty five years ago a little girl by the name of Jess went missing whilst on holiday in Cornwall, and was later presumed drowned in the sea. No one knows what happened on that fateful day that her father was looking after her and being the worse for wear nodded off for a few minutes which was all it took to take her. Her sister Kate who was small herself at the time vaguely remembers the day and has been scarred by it ever since- to the point that she won’t let her own daughters out of her sight. When she receives a message from someone claiming they know what happened she can't help but investigate. She convinces her long suffering husband to go to Looe and that's it’s to say a final goodbye to Jess. When she gets there she gets rather more than she bargained for and could be in danger.
Oh wow! I raced through this. Each chapter is headed to the person who is narrating it, mostly Kate but occasionally others. It's a tense drama with twists and turns and one I really couldn't see who the perpetrator was- just as I like it. A cleverly thought out plot well executed and one that kept me within the pages until the very end.

About the Book:
I’ll never forget that day. It was blisteringly hot, and I begged our mother for an ice cream. As we left you with Dad, I didn’t know it would be the last time I saw your face. Minutes later, we returned to the end of the pier where we had parked your pushchair. Dad was asleep on a bench, and your little pink blanket was empty. You had vanished.
Twenty-five years later. The morning of the anniversary of Jess’s disappearance starts like every other for her sister Kate – a rushed school run, a cold cup of coffee and a quick scan of the news for updates. But when her phone beeps with a message from an unknown number, everything changes.
I know what happened to Jess.
Finally, Kate’s a step closer to getting answers to the questions that have tormented her for so long. Why was her mother so angry that day? How did her father sleep through his own daughter’s abduction? And when the police car came screeching towards the pier, how is it that nobody saw a single thing?
As she drives her young family to the seaside town to meet the mystery messenger, she feels uneasy. Who are they and why did they reach out now? But before Kate finds out, history repeats itself and her world is turned upside down once more.
Then Kate receives one final, terrifying message… will her pursuit of the truth cost the lives of everyone she has ever loved?
This completely unputdownable psychological thriller will have you hooked from the very first page. Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train and The Wife Between Us.
