Karen O'Hara is a mum-blogger and influencer, her husband Paddy is always busy at work and has to travel a lot.
Karen's world is turned upside down when their 8 year old daughter, Scarlett goes missing from their rural Irish home. Scarlett is profoundly deaf and the batteries of her cochlear implants are running low, making time even more crucial.
Secrets come out and the cracks in Karen and Paddy's marriage deepen.
This is a really solid, gripping thriller, especially for a first novel. Many thrillers can feel like they all have the same plot, but this one is really different. Looking forward to more from the author.
