A twisty, tension filled mystery involving a missing teenage couple, an abandoned old mansion and lots of secrets, lies and duplicity. ⁣

Told in multiple timelines, we unravel the story of a missing teen couple (Tallulah and Zach) who disappeared after a night out without a trace. Tallulah’s mother, Kim, is desperate to find out the truth surrounding her daughter’s disappearance. She knows she wouldn’t willingly leave her young son behind. As the case grows cold, Kim finds an unlikely ally in Sophie, a crime novelist who is new to the area and unearths a clue about the disappearance near her home. Together, Kim and Sophie begin to delve into the past, determined to find out what really happened. ⁣

The story is wrought with tension which kept me turning the pages. We learn about Tallulah’s life leading up to her disappearance and find it’s filled with secrets that seem to get larger as they begin to unravel. This one tugged at my heartstrings as a mom - both from Kim’s standpoint and Tallulah’s. The book is a mystery but it also deals with some very real, complex issues surrounding motherhood, unhealthy/toxic relationships/friendships and of course has a healthy dose of murder and mentally instability too. ⁣
