Your daughter is missing. Did someone close to you take her?

She was meant to be with your husband.

He didn’t tell you about the change of plans.

Your mother-in-law says she never took her eyes off her. But the moment little Bea disappeared, she was on the phone to your husband’s ex-wife.

Things like this happen to other people. Careless people. Not you.

But now you have to ask: your husband, your mother-in-law, the ex-wife – could one of them have taken your little girl?

I read this book in about 10 days, which is very fast for me as my free time is quite limited these days.

It is a page turner until the very end and the conclusion is surprising.

Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars This was my first Shalini Boland book and Wow!
Reviewed in Canada on April 23, 2021
I love discovering new (to me) authors!!!

This was my first Shalini Boland book and Wow!

I was immediately drawn into the plot and the characters with it’s fast pace and heart-wrenching situation.

Jill takes her seven year old granddaughter Beatrice and Beatrice’s friend Mille to the fair. Beatrice’s dad Oliver (Jill’s son) was supposed to take Beatrice and her friend to the fair but at the last minute called his mom to take the duo instead.

While Jill and the girls are having fun in the House of Mirrors, Jill gets a phone call from her ex-daughter in-law, Lauren. She ignores the call but Lauren calls back and Jill answers because it could be something urgent. While on the phone with Lauren, Jill is distracted from the girls for a few moments and loses sight of them. She finds Mille but not Beatrice.

Beatrice has simply disappeared.

Jill becomes frantic, the police are called and Jill sits down to call her son to tell him that she lost his daughter.

Claire, Beatrice’s mother, was on a girls night out but she has to race to the fairgrounds to find out what happened and search for her daughter. Claire is none too happy with her husband for offloading the girls onto his mother, nor is she happy with Jill, as they have a somewhat strained relationship. Claire doesn't entirely trust Jill to care for Beatrice due to her scatterbrained-ness in her aging years.

The story is told through both Jill and Claire's eyes and I was drawn into the anxiety of each character as they frantically search for Beatrice. I empathized with both characters and found myself reading much later into the night for several nights and truth be told, at my desk at work.

This story will draw you in not only due to the circumstance and the characters but also as it explores love and jealousy and it will make you ask yourself, how well do you know the people around you, are they truly who they seem to be?
This book is out on April 22nd. I’d put this in your cart for a pre-order and definitely add it to your must read list!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not my favourite Shalini but still a great read
Reviewed in Canada on May 18, 2021
Every mother’s worst nightmare wrapped up in a novel. I loved the idea of this story. A missing child is my worst nightmare. I adored the characters, the setting was also well done. The story line was solid. I found the book was a bit slow especially for this author whose works I normally love. I also found that the whodunit was pretty easy to guess. But overall the story was well told, the characters were well developed and the relationships between the characters were very lifelike. This one just didn’t ramp up fast enough for me.

This story pulled me in from the start. I loved this book and I love this author.

Jill takes kids to fair even though she isn't supposed to. As I am reading this book I think I have it figured out who is behind it all. But nope I was wrong. I never would have expected the person behind it all to be who it was. I did piece it together before the end of the book so good on me. The twist and turns will keep you reading.

European English makes for brain changes when trying to complete a sentence.

2.0 out of 5 stars BORING
Reviewed in Canada on July 28, 2021

Bloody boring. You can just about skip the first 100 pages as it's so redundant.
The end foreshadows a sequel.
I use to like Shalini Boland's books, but the last 2 publications were both boring, so I don't know if I'll buy more of her books.

Relationships are really tested in this gripping novel. So many are intertwined and reasons for this are explained well. The ending left me a little anxious. Is there a sequel to this novel that gripped me from the start? Love Shalini Boland’s novels.

This is my 12th read of Shalinis. All of her books are fantastic. She is fantastic! But the more mysteries you read, the more I think you can kind of “see it coming.” I, like many others, called it from early on. However, I kept thinking I might be wrong, and I wasn’t. Boo! In reading other people’s reviews some people were shocked, so maybe you will be too? Either way, it’s an easy, fun read. I recommend all of her books.
