I get a call from the school. My husband hasn\u2019t picked up our 7-year-old daughter.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the day my life changes for ever.<\/em><\/p>\n

Earlier, I was scrolling through Facebook when something caught my eye. A photograph. The caption beneath:\u00a0PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP ME? HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN?<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s my husband and our daughter.<\/em><\/p>\n

The man I married eight years ago isn\u2019t who I thought he was at all. My husband has been lying to me . . .about\u00a0everything.<\/em><\/p>\n

My Review<\/strong><\/p>\n

What a great story! I hate to say it though that Claire really got on my nerves. Whatever did she think she was doing? Her daughter is devastated when dad Tom fails to pick her up from school, but instead of being there for her, she swans off playing amateur detective, leaving the poor child with her sister Gwen. Abandonment issues in later life no doubt.<\/p>\n

To make it worse, when she goes to the police station, the officer in charge is her ex, Adam, who she ditched for Tom, breaking his heart. The consensus of course is that Tom has probably upped and left her (I have some sympathy there). But as he\u2019s an adult he\u2019s not technically a missing person. Instead of telling her to sling her hook, Adam decides to put his career on the line to help her \u2018unofficially\u2019. But rather than leaving it to his many years\u2019 experience in solving crimes, she does the exact opposite, putting herself and others in danger. I\u2019m not including the cruise competition, because I\u2019d have done exactly the same thing.<\/p>\n

There are quite a few threads going on here. It starts with a Facebook post that simply says: PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP ME? HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN?<\/em> Except that the person posting is called Lydia French and the picture is of Tom and their daughter. But \u2018Lydia\u2019 claims they are HER husband and child. And so the mystery begins. I\u2019m not giving anything away, but Claire has got it all so wrong. <\/p>\n

However\u2026 it was brilliant and I really couldn\u2019t wait to read on to the end. It\u2019s really well plotted and exciting with believable characters and a storyline that promises to spiral out of control. Thank goodness for Adam and Gwen, who keep everything in perspective.<\/p>\n

Many thanks to\u00a0@ZooloosBT\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0for inviting me to be part of this blog tour.<\/p>\n
