About the book:
My little boy is missing — and they think I did it.
My husband is always at work, he’s basically checked out of our marriage at this point. So I’m stuck at home with three kids under the age of eight for the summer holidays. The boys are my world, I just wish we had the money for activities — eight-year-old Kyle has learning difficulties and they all need a lot of running around. I can’t spend another day in this house. The boys are so excited for a bike ride to the woods so we head out. We play hide and seek and Kyle is never very good, bless him. But this time he must have hidden really well because he’s not even giggling.
Where is he? Panic sets in.
Then I see his bike lying on its side, wheels spinning, like he just vanished into thin air. We were already at breaking point. This is going to completely tear us apart.
I’m not the perfect wife. I’m not the perfect mother. But I didn’t do anything to my little boy.
My thoughts:
I read this book so fast – I do love a fast paced story! It follows the events surrounding a child’s disappearance during a game of hide and seek in the woods. The characters felt raw and the emotional turmoil was palpable. Despite predicting the ending early on, I found it well-written and engaging, though the conclusion felt a bit rushed. It’s a great quick read for a holiday by the poolside—just keep an eye on the kids!
