This book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time! I couldn't figure out who took their son and my mind jumped from suspect to suspect.
I definitely thought it was her ex-husband, not his girlfriend! As a mother, I felt her anguish as she realized this stranger had been around her son and had a perfect opportunity to take him. It felt like justice to see the ex-husband behind bars for facilitating the kidnapping of the son he never wanted. Watching his "upgrade" to a new version of his wife every few years is sickening.
I rarely give 5 stars, and it is well deserved here!
