Thirty year old Molly Black has disappeared. She's been flighty since she was orphaned at 19.
Uncle John, determined to find he, calls a family meeting.
in this debut novel, we're slowly introduced to her various family members and her best friend, B is this non-linear narrative. This story isn't about really Molly, but about her whole family and the whole left by her parents.
While this was a very enjoyable and entertaining read; the large amount of characters and plots did leave to some of the plots feeling rushed and unfinished.

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.
