The story follows a mystery in Lynwick, Nottinghamshire. Suzy Baros, a Polish immigrant goes missing without a trace during a community event and no one knows where she disappeared off to, not even her young son. Not soon after, police suspect Michael Shaw, someone who worked with Suzy up until her disappearance. Kate, Michael's wife cannot come to terms with a loving and devoted father like Michael himself could commit a crime. However, when Michael is killed in a lorry accident, seemingly having jumped in its way, Kate is forced to ask herself what might've prompted Michael to do this? Is he really responsible for Suzy's disappearance?

Although it was a slow start at first, the author unfolds the story bit by bit, really giving the reader with just enough information to suspect multiple people. The author challenges the reader, giving us characters who are morally grey and spinning a tale so rich in detail, it's impossible to pin the crime on just one person.

The twists were few, but it did pack a punch. My prediction was way off and the unpredictable nature of this book simply made it unputdownable. I finished the second half of the book within a night because I just had to know the end. It was that good.

Overall, a great read that compels you to hold on until the nailbiting finish! Thank you to Bookoture and Netgalley for allowing me to read an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
