Three girls disappear into the night. One by one they go missing, never to be seen again. No witnesses, no leads, nothing.

The only thing they had in common? An uneasy sense of being watched in the days before they vanished. Noises in the night, boot prints in the flower beds outside their bedroom windows . . .

Today.

One of the lost girls was Anna Klein’s best friend. With no body, the case went cold. But Anna never stopped looking for Sylvie – or whoever took her.

Now, four years later, Anna finally has a lead when a body turns up in an abandoned mansion. She has to know is it Sylvie?

But time is running out. As the storm of the century rolls in, the clock is ticking to find the answers before this trail goes cold.

Can Anna find Sylvie and the other girls before they’re lost forever?

My Review

What a roller coaster! Anna survives the most ludicrous dangers (the mortuary for instance). She must have nine lives. But I absolutely loved listening on Borrowbox while walking the dog. It’s totally over the top, far-fetched much of the time, and when you eventually find out who the killer is, you will wonder what his motivation is.

But did I care? Not a bit. It’s an exciting mix of fast-paced serial killer thriller, and a race against time as a devastating hurricane is about to hit the town of Charlotte. Journalist Anna Klein must discover everything she can about the missing girls before all the evidence (including the bodies) is washed away. She has the help of fellow journalist, Justin, but he’s not quite as brave (or stupid) as Anna.. She takes a lot of risks, especially when the storm is getting far too close for comfort.

As time goes on, it gets more bonkers, but don’t be put off. It’s exciting, never boring and would make a great Netflix series.
