Review
Holly Jackson returns with another incredible thriller. Twists and turns galore will have readers glued to this story until the end!
Eighteen-year-old Bel has grown up without a mother. Her mother, Rachel, disappeared without a trace 16 years ago, leaving Bel in the backseat of the car. The media are obsessed with the story, but Bel has moved on with her life.
So when her mother suddenly reappears out of nowhere, and Bel discovers inconsistencies in her story, she wants to uncover the truth.
Aided by Ash, who was in town to film a true-crime documentary about the mystery, and is now experiencing the events first hand, will Bel be able to uncover the truth beneath her mother’s lies?
This book is a top-shelf thriller that takes the reader along for the emotional ride with Bel, as she tries to figure out the truth about her family. Who are actually the good guys? You will find out in the end, and it is certainly worth the wait!
With her mother’s disappearance and some swearing, it is best suited to those in Year 9 and above.
