What an opening to this riveting crime mystery novel as it carries you through on a thrilling wave of the unknown and opens up a world of questions that you want answers to. At not quite knowing what really happened to Adam on that roadside when he disappeared, supposedly at the mercy of a deranged gunman whilst his girlfriend Darcey escaped and lived to tell the tale. Was it a tale, did she make it all up to cover over something more sinister or is it the truth and nothing but? What should you believe as a fascinated reader, when the evidence is pointing in the direction of a third party being involved in the incident and it seems like the case can be closed at last, if only they could find the body. Enter the police along with the suspicions of Gina; the journalist who investigates the facts and uncovers many signs that there is more to this whole thing then first meets the eye. Did Adam fake his own death for the insurance money, with or without the help of his girlfriend Darcey? Just what exactly is the only witness holding back on when questioned repeatedly, since Darcey is also reluctant to deal with the press even if it means helping them to find Adam? As you feel for the family caught up in all this and why does Darcey feel guilty, if she is a true victim and not the suspect? This gripping book leaves you guessing right up to the end, which I loved because I did not expect it to turn out like that and it did surprise me. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to get to the ‘nitty-gritty’ of why people do what they do when they do set out to do something bad. I personally cannot wait for the brilliant Joanne Clancy to release her next book because I will be one of the first in line to read it so don’t miss out, come and join me.
