Over a decade ago Jo's daughter was abducted from in front of a shop whilst she and her husband were on holiday. The pushchair was found on a cliff edge but there was no trace of Lauren, even on the beach below. Occasionally Jo receives postcards with an old picture of her daughter on the front simply saying that the writer still has Lauren. The police, the people who know what happened believe the cards to be a hoax. Jo believes differently. She also realises that as she has moved house and remarried and the story has faded from press attention someone is going to a great deal of trouble to keep track of her.
The story is about how Jo copes in a remote hamlet in Cumbria as her life begins to unravel. You'll constantly question just how reliable Jo's judgement is as she staggers from crisis to crisis. You'll be on the edge of your seat holding your breath right through to the explosive climax and even days later you won't be able to get the people – all of them – out of your mind. Abductions and kidnappings have unfortunately made headlines in recent years, but this book doesn't bleed them for what they're worth – it's takes the story into the future and looks at the terrible legacy such a crime leaves in its wake. Highly recommended.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag. We also have a review of [[The Pull of the Moon by Diane Janes]].
For more on this dreadful subject we can recommend [[Lullaby by Claire Seeber]]. You might also appreciate [[The Forgotten Summer by Carol Drinkwater]].
