Lodge racked up the psychological thriller in this one. She had a few twist that were very good. I like the fact that she has continued to grow the characters of DCI Sheens and his time. There's multiple stories on each of them that gives depth to the books. I highly recommend this series.
🙂 Happy Reading 🙂

This book opens with a girl, Keely, coming out of the woods covered in blood. She mentions that her sister, Nina, is missing, and Keely will eventually disclose her location. A team of detectives race to find Nina before it’s too late.
I went into this book absolutely loving the premise. I really enjoy thrillers that are based on a simple, nail-biting idea that keeps you guessing until the end.
Ultimately, I found a lot of the end twists slightly unbelievable. I also found it strange that the police seemed relatively comfortable letting a young girl play with them while her sister is seemingly injured or dead.
Keely ends up relaying a very horrifying story of systemic abuse at the hands of many men and the foster care system, and you spend the entire book guessing whether this is actually the truth or not. I think that the narrative shines a light on how the system does uphold the abuse of children in many cases.
However, I had trouble following Keely’s and Nina’s characterization.
