Tense and suspenseful, this thriller hits all the high points for a thoroughly satisfying read.
It's finally summer and Tallulah Murray and her live-in boyfriend, Zach, are out at the local pub for an evening of celebrating after a long school year for Tallulah and to relax after the daily grind of caring for their new baby. Tallulah's mom, Kim, is watching baby Noah and knows that Zach has something planned to top off the night. She waits for them to return but they never come home.
Sophie Beck and her boyfriend have just moved to Maypole House in Surrey Hills as he is taking the job of head teacher there. She's a novelist, writes cozy mysteries, and hopes this change of scenery won't be so bad though she misses London already. Soon after their arrival, she finds a strange sign on the back gate fence and follows the instruction to dig where she discovers a ring box. Of course, the nosy writer has to find out why she got the message and what it all means.
What happened to Tallulah and Zach that night? No spoilers.
I was glued to the pages trying to guess what was going to happen next and to find the answers to the mystery. The writing is excellent and the multiple points of view reels you in and keeps you hooked to the story. Even though I was able to predict with some accuracy what had happened, the big reveal and the conclusion were both worth waiting for. Although not really a main character, I felt drawn to the pain that Kim was experiencing and liked her best. Enjoy!
