It took me all of maybe three hours to read this spread out over a couple of days. This is my first Barclay book and let me just say that I LOVED IT!! I will be looking for more from this author.
The beginning is excellent. A 14 year old girl wakes up to find that her parents and brother are missing. She later gets married and has a child of her own. She has a lot of anxiety about the safety of her own child and rightfully so since she still has no idea what happened to her family. Anyway, I will not give away the ending but it was great although I must say there was one particular plot twist that was introduced at the very end (and I mean the last few pages) that I thought was totally unnecessary. The mystery and plot were great without it!
Totally recommended!
