On the day Harriet's daughter disappears, she had entrusted her care to her only friend. Charlotte swears she only took her eyes off her for a second, but it seems the media have other ideas.
Two weeks later, the police hold both women for questioning. Can two friends ripped so unceremoniously apart, really trust each other again, or will their hidden secrets surface?
Heidi Perks' expertly woven web draws the reader in from the first word. I found this book incredibly difficult to put down, and had life not got in the way I'd most likely have read it in one sitting! In places, as expected, it is difficult to read, but the need to know what happens in the end is greater.
An excellent novel, highly recommended. Can't wait to read more by the author!!

Now You See Her was such an intense chilling read that kept me gripped throughout
A little girl goes missing during a school fete, but who has taken her? Who is telling the truth?
A really enjoyable read, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

A very white book. Both the characters and the plot. Truly something that would only happen to white people.

Charlotte’s world is turned upside one day while at a school fair, her friend’s daughter Alice, who she’s supposed to be caring for, disappears. In the weeks following the disappearance, Charlotte faces the judgement of the community and her own self-loathing for having let it happen. Meanwhile, Alice’s parents, Harriet and Brian are dealing with the loss of their daughter and the interrogations if the police, as well as some deep hidden secrets of their own. Told from the alternating points-of-view of Charlotte and Harriet, the story takes readers on a roller coaster ride of anxiety-ridden emotions.
I found that the first half of this moved along very quickly as I was swept up in the story, eager to find out more. Then the main revelation occurred and I found the second half to be a little underwhelming and not nearly as exciting. I feel like if the twist had happened a little later on or if there had been multiple twists, there would have been more tension and suspense.
