When her five-year-old daughter disappears from the park, Carrie is distraught and she blames herself. Has her inability to read facial expressions put her child in danger?
Yet just days later, a stranger finds Sofia in an abandoned shed. She's scared but unharmed and Carrie is relieved to have her home.
But the police have no leads on who might have taken her and when another child is taken, it's clear Sofia is still in danger. And the threat might be closer than they think. . .

Customer Reviews
4* could have been 5*
This was grammatically well written and successfully maintained the doubts and suspense about who kidnapped the girl to the end. In that respect it made a welcome change to most of the other numerous missing children books on the market.
A couple of things spoiled it for me making me question whether it was worth reading on. Some were, I suppose, necessary to keep the doubts and suspense going so I ought to overlook them.
My main gripe is the way the writer interpreted the five year old’s thoughts and the ‘voice’ and vocabulary she gave her. This is surely one of the hardest things for an author to do convincingly. I cringed many times. I found the way the mother’s autism-like condition was handled occasionally annoying too. Again, maybe it was necessary for her to be on the spectrum to make the story work.
Anyway, I’m glad I finished the book.
