Product Description
It begins on a winter afternoon, when schoolgirl Nicky Day runs from a gang of bullies. Then her little brother starts the fire. But the nightmare that is engulfing Sue and Terry Day is only beginning . . .
A single mother who left a six-year-old on his own while she went clubbing on a Friday night. An absent father with a hot teenaged girlfriend who didn’t seem to care who was minding his former family. The police, the neighbours, the friends, the lovers turn accusing eyes on them both. Suspicious voices ask whether Nicky has run away; whether the fire is really an accident.
And meanwhile, time is running out for Nicky.

After reading previous MH books, I would go as far as to say she was a lot better than Martina Cole and each of her books I have loved. However after reading this new book I am unsure what to say about it. The story is of Sue and Terry Day, an estranged couple whos youngest child has been caught in a fire in Sue's home and their elder daughter has subsequently gone missing. The husband Terry has run off with a younger lover Leanne, and when Sue gets involved with Leannes father Dave, things go terribly wrong. Although the writing was good and I enjoyed the book, I thought it lacked substance and the ending felt slightly rushed. I'm hoping this is just a blip in her career and the book is a "bump in the road" in her otherwise flawless writing and I will wait to read her next book before deciding if she is worth reading again.

Have read all of Mandasues books and this is the worse almost as though she is on the same road as Martina and has lost her spark - was such a shame as was so looking forward to this - a very easy read - ok for a holiday read but would recommend Billy Jo, Sadie, Kaitlin or Fallen Angel by other authors as these are excellent

This is the first of MH's books I have read and I have to say I will definitely be going back for more. Not always been a big reader as I need to be captured right from the start, and many books do take time to draw me in. Not with this one though.....from the first page right to the last I was gripped. Only thing I couldnt understand was the geography of this, most of it situated in council estate in Manchester and then Dave Miller's house seems to be not too far away in the country and one minute it was a long way for Sue Day to be going out of Manchester and the next minute she is back doing shopping and back on the estate. Didnt seem to add up. Other than that highly recommended.

I absolutely love Mandasue Heller. Similar stories to Martina Cole but based in Manchester. This is a gripping story with a twist, but then so are all her books. Read more

I wasn't overly impressed with this. The characters don't seem very real & their actions or, more tellingly lack of actions & reactions just don't sit right somehow. Read more
