Gone Before: A twisty and completely gripping psychological thriller

‘Twist after twist!... I loved this. Kept me going through the early hours of a sleepless night.’ I’m Reading ?????   ‘My name is Phoebe Locklear. I think I’m your daughter.’   I rehearse the words as I walk up the path, clutching a faded old photograph of a little girl with thick dark hair. When I knock, the door opens, and there she is: the woman I believe is my mother. The woman whose five-year-old daughter disappeared fifteen years ago. Had I known what would happen next, would I have knocked on that door? Would I take back the lives I’ve destroyed? But now that I’ve started, there’s no going back. I can’t stop until I find out who I really am. Even if the truth could kill me. Addictive, nail-biting and utterly unputdownable, Gone Before asks what happens when your whole life turns out to be a lie. Perfect for fans of Mark Edwards, Gone Girl and The Silent Patient.What readers are saying about Gone Before: ‘Absolutely fantastic… both gripping and addictive… I absolutely loved how unpredictable this was and the author definitely kept me guessing.

Maya Duncan went missing when she was five years old and there has been no trace of her since. That is until fifteen years later when Phoebe turns up at Kay Duncan’s door claiming she is Maya...
This book was so gripping; I was utterly immersed in it.
Although I had guessed what would happen at the end that didn’t stop me reading, I needed to know for sure.
There were so many twists I felt like I was in a tornado, awaiting the next twist and so much suspense too.
It was very well written and researched, kudos to Sam Hepburn for this gem of a book. I'm glad I found it.
I have been thinking about it ever since reading it.
