Kate Shaw is a strong female character in this standalone new book by a favourite author.

There are many characters that intrigued me, especially Suzy, and more so after her disappearance and when Michael gets interrogated about her. Somehow, between the time he leaves the police quarters and his home, he impedes a lorry and the aftermath is not a good one, leaving Kate a widow and a single mother. Of course, she believes in him and tries to protect him at all times when she has to confront all the reasons that points towards her husband as being the culprit for Suzy’s disappearance.

Some very interesting twists I haven't expected and let me doubtful of my theories. I felt bad for Kate having to deal with so much hardship and while I totally understood Suzy’s reasons to hide, the pace of these turns wasn't as I was used from the author, but overall, it all made it for a few great reading hours.
