This book had me right from the start. It's one of those books that once started you are seriously going to struggle to put back down again.
Leighton is a retired detective who is a bit of a loner. He chances on Vicki when leaving the police station one day. Vicki takes to the kindly ex detective as he seems to be the only one genuinely taking her seriously. there on in, the pair decide to take matters into their own hands and look into Laura's disappearance themselves.
I liked the relationship that builds through out the story between the two main characters. In a way I think they both are gaining something from the other person being there and I don't mean just the case. It's almost like a father/daughter relationship as well as them both having a strong respect for each other. It was something that by the end of the story made me really emotional.
I don't want to say to much about the story itself as I think the less you know the better as there were certainly a few omg moments as well as parts that made the hairs on my arms stand up.
The Girl On The Bus is a great story full of suspense and intrigue. It would make a belter of a film. It made me think of The Hitch Hiker though it is a very different story line. There certainly is a mixture of genres, as in crime, suspense, thriller and horror. It was the perfect blend and I am dying to read more by the author.
