In the Dark by Claire Allan
3.5
Seven years ago, Nora Logue went for a walk in the woods with her daughter Daisy but only Nora came out - not only without Daisy but without any recollection of what happened that day.
Completely gripping, fast paced and full of intrigue and suspense. I loved the writing style and the dual point of view. Even though Nora was an unreliable narrator, I was really rooting for her the whole time. The true crime aspect made for a really interesting perspective - making the reader consider just how much the media can put a bias on things to enhance the "story" of the crime to the audience. I really don't want to give anything away but I would say for me the ending didn't quite gel with the rest of the story as much as I'd have liked. None the less it was an engrossing, gripping read that had me hooked from the beginning. If you're a fan of Lisa Jewell or Andrea Mara, I'd recommend picking up In The Dark!
Huge thanks to @harpercollinsire for sending me a gifted copy and inviting me to be a part of the book tour for this one
