MY REVIEW

This character-driven thriller is told in several voices including the kidnap victim, her abusive husband, her husband’s girlfriend, the partner of the victim’s work colleague, and a young female detective working the case who has a secret crush on her married superior.  One of these people knows where Hannah is and it is a race to find out if she is found dead or alive.

Overall, this was a tedious story of domestic abuse with more than enough characters to make it a little convoluted.  The author does tackle some very serious and real topics.  However, the story just didn’t grab me like I hoped it would. I felt it didn’t bring anything new for me as psychological thrillers go. 

Thank you to Ms. McClelland for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.
