Synopsis: Julia’s privileged and ordered world is turned upside down in a single day…

The start of the catastrophic turn of events begins with a seemingly simple mobile phone malfunction, culminating in the disappearance of her children and husband.

Against the backdrop of Cambridgeshire countryside, Florida’s relentless heat, and millions of tourists, Julia’s search begins.

A story of one woman’s strength, ingenuity, and relentless courage to get back what’s been taken from her.

By whatever means necessary…

Review: Overall, I thought this book was really well written. The book flowed well and was well paced. I also liked the world building. I really liked the mystery behind this book and the book was compelling. It kept me coming back for more.

However, I did feel like the book didn’t develop the characters well. They just felt flat and didn’t really interact with each other as I would have liked them to.

Verdict: It was good, just not for me.
