I was there when it happened. I watched her disappear....

An emotional and addictive psychological drama from the author of the critically-acclaimed novel, What She Never Told Me.

Lillian had phoned telling her to get Skype up and running. 'I have so much to tell you.' Then, the knock on the door. 'Sorry Orla, I'd better see who it is' she said. Orla waited. Seconds became minutes. She didn't know how long she waited before she realised that something terrible had happened.

For more than a decade, Lillian's disappearance has remained unsolved, and Orla has found it impossible to move on.

Then she receives an unexpected visit from Ned Moynihan, the detective who led the original investigation into her friend's vanishing. Moynihan has been receiving anonymous notes accusing him of having failed to investigate the case properly. He assumes the notes are coming from Orla, yet Orla knows nothing of these letters.

Is somebody trying to tell them the truth about what really happened to Lillian that night?

This is on its way to a very good Bookcrossing friend as an Easter Gift, hope you enjoy it :-)

What a lovely surprise! I don't know this author but it looks right uo my street, you know me so well. Thanks for all the other goodies too😊

Edit 07/04/18: Haha....fooled by a different cover! Didn't realise this book was on my wish list. Thanks again x

A good enough read which had an interesting start with Orla Skyping her friend Lillian who disappears mid-conversation – how can you not be intrigued by that? Lillian appears to have vanished in to thin air. Has she left to seek a new life? Is she dead? No answers are forthcoming & ten years later the receipt of some anonymous notes has the original Detective Ned Moynihan revaluating the episode.

While the opening sequence hooked me from the off, I was surprised to find that it didn’t really grip me in the way I would have expected. I certainly enjoyed it but it didn’t pull me in, in the way other books have & at times I felt it was only touching the surface of events & it could have dug a bit deeper. As a lead character I didn’t form much of an opinion of Orla & never felt any compassion for the situations she found herself in.
Ned had been through a similar experience to Orla as his mother had disappeared when he was young & I liked this connection of events. I found Ned to be the most likeable of the characters although I did find there was too much repetition of his thoughts about his ex-wife.

What saved this from being a fairly standard thriller in my mind was that although I spotted one or two twists I was still surprised at the turns the story took – things didn’t go as I expected!

So overall, a good enough thriller which was very readable, despite lacking in depth & a being bit repetitive at times. The fact that I was pleased to be caught out by some events pulled it up in my estimations :o)

Putting in with a bookring for ReetPetite - I had hoped I'd have something on her wishlist but I haven't! Hope she'll enjoy this anyway :o)

Thanks Plum-crazy. Looks interesting.

Thanks Plum-crazy. A very good read. I think the biggest surprise was the one for Ned, didn't see that coming.
