Six months ago, Charlotte almost lost everything. Now, she’s determined to keep her daughter, Elle, safe. So when local girls close to Elle in age and appearance begin to go missing, it’s her worst nightmare.

Charlotte’s fears are confirmed when a frantic search becomes a shocking murder investigation. The girls’ bodies have been found – half-buried, and with traces of mud and wildflowers under their fingernails.

As Charlotte’s obsession with keeping her daughter close pushes her marriage to the brink, local DI Madeleine Wood embarks on a gruelling search for the killer. And, as they dig deeper into the lives of the people they call friends and neighbours, they uncover secrets more terrible than they ever imagined...

Ratings and reviews

I read this in about three days - very gripping. There were times when i found the characters a bit too much but in general i loved it

Read this book on a whim as there was a free sample. Immediately bought the book after the sample, couldn't stop reading it! It grips you from the first page and doesn't let you go until the end. I can't remember the last time I was hooked on a book so quickly.

Not my usual type of reading material. Ok gets my star on this one but only because I did read the full book.
