'Wow! This was a great book! So full of twists that I never saw coming!' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
In a converted townhouse, three families live under one roof. But when a young girl vanishes without trace, none of them are beyond suspicion...
The large flat that takes up the top two floors is home to the Harlow family: happily married Paul and Steph, and their bubbly teenage daughter Freya.
The smaller first floor flat is rented by Emma, who spends most of her time alone, listening to people coming in and out of the building.
And the basement flat belongs to Chris, a local driving instructor, who prefers to keep his personal life private from the neighbours.
But their lives are all upended when Freya vanishes. As the police become involved and a frantic Paul and Steph desperately search for answers, they begin to realise that the truth behind their daughter's disappearance may lie closer to home than they were expecting.
When everyone has something to hide, can you ever really know those closest to you? Or will some secrets be taken to the grave?
A totally addictive and gripping psychological thriller with twists and turns that will leave you breathless. Perfects for fans of BA Paris, KL Slater and The Housemaid.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the outset of Cooper's heart-pounding debut, 17-year-old Freya Harlow fails to return home to her parents' Kingston, England, apartment. When the police ask Freya's parents, Paul and Steph, if they have any enemies who might want to harm Freya, each has a secret unbeknownst to the other, and each believes theirs holds the key to their daughter's disappearance. While Paul unearths painful memories of his past undercover police work, Steph often travels to a nearby town, and begs their downstairs neighbor, Emma Brighton, not to tell anyone about her whereabouts. Meanwhile, Emma's apartment is vandalized, and the police repeatedly question Freya's driving instructor, who lives below Emma, since he was the last person to see Freya. A second plot, set 25 years earlier, involves a teenage girl who suspects her mother's boyfriend is abusive and dangerous. Readers will enjoy trying to figure out how the two story lines are connected. Even avid suspense readers won't be able to predict all the twists. Cooper is off to a strong start.
