I must start with a warning, do not on any account start reading this book unless you have a few hours free. You immediately find yourself in the middle of a dramatic situation and the pace never halts, not for a minute, and it is impossible to stop reading. I made the mistake of starting this book during the wee small hours when I was unable to sleep - mistake, I got no sleep!
Claire's young daughter is having a birthday party and appears to go missing. While Claire is concerned, her husband Jules overreacts, and she sees in his eyes that he is desperately worried. Bea turns up safely, but in that time, Claire knows there is something major going on with her husband, something she has no idea about to have made him react the way he did. Jules is off on business for a couple of days immediately after the incident, so Claire is unable to talk to him about it.
Jules is a lawyer and is currently working on the prosecution of a very bad man, a vicious man he has been trying to get behind bars for 20 years, Claire, used to be a lawyer before she decided to become a stay at home mum and move to Brighton. All her skills in investigation come to the fore when she decides to try to discover what is going on, and what she finds frightens her to her core. Her family is in danger and she will not sit by relying on others to deal with their situation.
This is fast, frightening and exciting. I really enjoyed the book and I was left breathless by the end, I felt I had been on such a journey with this family. How in one day a seemingly quiet ordinary family could suddenly be in danger of being torn apart, how every person in their lives has to be considered suspect until proven otherwise.
This is the 2nd novel by Julie Corbin, I enjoyed her first one, and I shall certainly be waiting impatiently for her third. Highly recommended.

An absolutely brilliant read! The story is totally gripping from start to finish and the research that Julie Corbin has undertaken with the attention to fine detail have you almost believing this was a personal journey for her. Exceptionally well produced with a terrific storyline linked with compassion about a mother who would go to the end of the earth for her family. The best novel I have read in years!

It can be difficult getting into a new book after reading one that is really good. I had just finished Before I go to Sleep, which was excellent. This book however delivered for me. It pulled me in from the very start and it was quite a compulsive read, I did find myself reading late into the night unable to put it down. The story is about a family of lawyers whose child is threatened when they are working on a sensitive case. I can imagine this can happen in cases where witnesses are threatened. The middle of the book did have parts that I wanted to skip through, but only because I wanted to know what was going to happen in the end! I enjoyed this book and would recommend it.

Sorry, but I hated it! This could have been so interesting - if it had been better researched. Like one of the others reviewers said - emails that can't be traced??? Read more
