Anna Carter wakes in the middle of the night to find that her daughter, 5-year-old Josie, and her husband, Nick are missing from the house. Though Nick later returns home, it appears that Josie has been kidnapped and a ransom demanded. Who has taken her and why? NO SPOILERS.
This was pretty typical domestic drama with characters I found annoying and dialogue that I found pretty lame. Who calls their child "little lady" and which police officers use the word, "dear" when addressing victim families? Constantly. I didn't care for either Anna or Nick and there were no big twists or surprises that make this stand out from all the rest of the stories that have a missing or kidnapped child. The premise for the plot was quite thin and I didn't much care for the conclusion.
So, this was not a favorite but I might be willing to try another book by this author as long as it wasn't more of the same style and topic.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the e-book ARC to read and review.
This is a standalone and is not part of any series.
Genre -- meant to be psychological thriller but I would say domestic drama
