The Blurb.....

Two girls go missing, decades apart. What would you do if one was your daughter?

When eight-year-old Grace goes missing from a sweetshop on the way home from school, her mother Emma is plunged into a nightmare. Her family rallies around, but as the police hunt begins, cracks begin to emerge.

What are the secret emails sent between Emma’s husband and her sister? Why does her mother take so long to join the search? And is Emma really as innocent as she seems?

Meanwhile, ageing widow Maggie Taylor sees Grace’s picture in the newspaper. It’s a photograph that jolts her from the pain of her existence into a spiralling obsession with another girl – the first girl who disappeared…

My blurb.....

Child abduction is tough to read about but in this story it is done so well. 
The story takes off instantly and you are dragged in to the search for the missing girl. The two sets of characters in the story crosses between them constantly, not too confusing, interweaving the story well.
Missing kids is big in books at the moment and sadly has been done a lot. Though well written and def 4 stars, it does keep the reader wanting to know what's next
