Synopsis

In the breathtaking new thriller from David Bell, bestselling author of Since She Went Away and Somebody I Used to Know, the fate of two missing teenage girls becomes a father’s worst nightmare….

Just a year and a half after the tragic death of his wife, Bill Price’s fifteen-year-old daughter, Summer, and her best friend, Haley, disappear. Days later, the girls are found in a city park. Haley is dead at the scene, while Summer is left beaten beyond recognition and clinging to life.

As Bill holds vigil over Summer’s bandaged body, the only sound the unconscious girl can make is one cryptic and chilling word: No. And the more time Bill spends with Summer, the more he wonders what happened to her. Or if the injured girl in the hospital bed is really his daughter at all.

When troubling new questions about Summer’s life surface, Bill is not prepared for the aftershocks. He’ll soon discover that both the living and the dead have secrets. And that searching for the truth will tear open old wounds that pierce straight to the heart of his family…

Review

This book takes you on quite the roller coaster of emotions!

Two girls go missing and are found in the park – 1 dead and the other badly beaten. The families are destroyed and Summer’s father is out to make sure whoever did this to his daughter pays the price.

I’m trying to figure out what to write to not give away too much that would spoil the book!

The father, Bill Price, definitely has some issues. I don’t know if they stem from losing his wife and now what has happened to his daughter Summer, or if there is more to what makes him tick. He was a little annoying with wanting justice – while I understood how he felt, he also was not giving the police time to truly do their job. Many of the things that happened were mistakes that could happen to anyone. The one upside to this whole tragic event is that it brought Bill and his sister closer together in the end (there are some rough patches!).

The book surprised me many times with the twists and turns. I was shocked at a few incidents that happened and while I suspected some of who was involved, the revelations might just leave you dumb founded in the end.

The book does have a somewhat happy ending – as happy as it can be when tragedy occurs.

We give it 4 paws up.
