This book is something else! I loved guessing what was going to happen, if theories were correct, etc. I love a good old who dunnit!
I really loved the 'banter' between Max and Sarah, I can imagine how patronising it'd feel to be on the end of it, but from an outside perspective, I loved it!
I'm happy with the way things turned out! It'd be interesting to see what ended up happening to the Paynes.

The plot is over-the-top ridiculous but it’s a fun read

The first half of this story was so captivating!! The second part kind of lost my interest until the last couple chapters and I was hooked back in again

The story starts with David in prison for having murdered his 3-year-old son matthew. His sister-in-law Rachel comes to visit him and tell him that she thinks Matthew's actually still alive based on a photo she found at an amusement park. So David decides to break out of prison with the help of his godfather who is the warden at the prison. He and Rachel work together to find out that David's ex-wife Cheryl visited a fertility center when they were struggling to get pregnant with Matthew. The story gets a little convoluted but Rachel had a admirer named Hayden who is a wealthy man who owns amusement park and the fertility center. Hayden is now raising a boy and you think it's probably Matthew. When Cheryl visited the fertility center she did so under Rachel's name so her husband wouldn't find out and Hayden thought it was Rachel going to the facility center and had them use his sperm. When it turned out Cheryl was pregnant he assumed it was his child and use a boy from a orphanage as a replacement for matthew. He beat him to death in his bed and then a different crime organization frame David because of what David's father had done to that crime organization. But as it turns out Cheryl actually got pregnant by David not by the sperm donor which everyone knew except for Hayden and in the end in a shootout everything turns out fine. The only problem I have is that David broke out of jail to get a story when really he probably didn't need to and he did some terrible things when he was out of jail that probably would have landed him in jail anyway.
