I wanted to like this book more than I ultimately did, but once I started reading it was immediately obvious what the story was going to be - though to be fair, the plot took a couple of twists and turns to get there.

Grace is a very sick, wheelchair-bound teenager, looked after night and day by her devoted mother Meg who is haunted by the death of her son twenty years ago.  Meg is found by a neighbour, beaten to death, and Grace has disappeared - has her estranged father kidnapped her?

We don't see any of the story from the police's point of view, rather a neighbour and a vilified journalist team up to solve the mystery, somewhat hard to believe!

I quite enjoyed the writing style, but at times it seemed the author couldn't keep track of the dual narratives and which narrator knew which fact.  I found the ending disappointing which put me off reading more by this author, but this was an OK read
