Blurb (from back cover): "Eight-year-old Grace is last seen in a candy store. Her mother Emma is living a nightmare. But as her loved ones rally around her, cracks begin to emerge.
"What are the emails sent between her husband and her sister? Why does her mother take so long to join the search? And is there more to the disappearance of her daughter than meets the eye?
"Meanwhile, ageing widow Maggie Taylor sees a familiar face in the newspaper. A face that jolts her from the pain of her existence into a spiralling obsession with another girl-the first girl who disappeared..."
Opinion: What starts off as a one time kidnapping turns into so much more. Some confusion on keeping everyone straight on who they are in relationship to each other but a fresh prospective on a kidnapping plot.
