APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This is a fast-paced debut from bestselling thriller author Owen Mullen, and a nicely tense introduction to private investigator Charlie Cameron. From the first chapters, it’s evident Mullen has created a complex and deep character, supported by an ensemble cast of intriguing characters. Two young parents, Mark and Jen, enlist the help of Cameron after their 13-month old daughter is abducted on the beach. Cameron is reluctant to get involved in missing children cases, but thanks in part to long-repressed guilt from childhood, he can’t resist the case.
Customer Reviews
Great read
I couldn’t not put this book down. Great twist at the end.
Brilliant
Well paced edgy and so very well written could not put this down loved the characters
Avoid
Casual misogyny, racist stereotypes, typical tropes of divorced, drunk, woman hating policemen. One of the laziest examples of this sad old genre.
