Publisher Description
Things are going wrong for Olivia Shorten.
Her little boy has become withdrawn and anxious.
Her marriage is not the safe place she had believed it to be.
To top it all off, her teenage stepson has just come to live with them…and there's something unsettling, something not-quite-right about Charlie.
Olivia has her own plan about how to fix things. Unconventional, maybe, but she thinks she's doing the right thing for her family.
But then her little boy vanishes from their backyard without a trace.
Frantic with fear, and with the police and the media poking around in places she'd rather they didn't, it soon becomes apparent that everyone is hiding something.
Including Olivia.

Customer Reviews
Not my cup of tea
Struggled through this one as the story never quite developed fully and although it does finally come together, much of it is through the reader perception of events. In the end, dissatisfying. Didn’t bother with the lengthy excerpt of another book included at the end of this one.
