Such a good book.

 

 

This is the second book I've read by the latest new author I've discovered this year, Andrea Mara is a crime author living in Dublin, where this book is set.

It starts with every parents worse nightmare, Marissa goes to collect her son, Milo from a friends house where he'd been for a play date, only to find that not only was her son not there, but the woman who lives there isn't the mother she knows, nor is she the nanny, she doesn't have Milo. And so begins her nightmare, Milo is missing.

As the story enfolds we are drawn into the friendship between Marissa and Jenny, the mother of the boy Milo was supposed to be visiting and surprisingly with Esther, the owner of the house where Milo was supposed to be. The 'school gate' mums and the gossip added to the story and such a true occurrence, in real life. Its full of twists and turns and kept me guessing right up to the last few pages. 

Written well, the characters were well drawn and very likable. I really enjoyed this story and am delighted to have found another author whose books I really enjoy. I shall be reading a lot more books by Andrea Mara.
