What a bizarre read! I could hardly put it down. This was my first Lisa Jewell book and I'm sure I'll read more if this is what she's offering.

When Ellie Mack goes missing, her mother Laurel does not believe for one second that she ran away. 15 years pass and Laurel is still wondering where her daughter went. Her disappearance has ruined Laurel's life. Her marriage is over and her relationships with her family are next to non existent.

Laurel is ready to start a new life when Ellie's bones are finally discovered. She meets a man named Floyd and they are perfect together. Floyd even has a daughter who looks just like Ellie. Laurel has a sinking suspicion that Floyd is hiding something. Will she be able to figure it all out in time?

Dark and gritty - just how I like my books!
