***

A missing girl. An angry mother. A true crime documentary.

Ten years ago, Katy, a promising young journalist, left her desk and was never seen again.

Someone knows what happened to her...

The controlling boyfriend? The inappropriate professor? The clingy colleague?

When Katy went missing, it wasn’t just her devastated mother, Grace, whose life was ruined. Now, a new documentary delving into the missing person case threatens to open old wounds.

As Grace gets closer to the truth, she discovers just how far people are willing to go to keep the past hidden.

Ten years ago, Katie disappeared, and the police never found out where she went. Grace has never got over it, and when a production team meets her asking if they can make a documentary about Katie, she agrees. It isn’t long before she has doubts about this show, but will it bring someone forward who knows what happened all those years ago?

This was a sad and intense read, with secrets hidden; it was chilling and emotional in places, too. Everyone that Grace came across seemed to be hiding something. I just couldn’t decide who might have taken Katie.

Georgina Lees pens a great read that will have you captured from early on. I have read a few books by this author and enjoyed them all.
