Six years later, Abbie is in love and getting married. But her fragile peace is constantly threatened: not knowing what happened to Sarah is like living with a curse.

My review:-If your child went missing, hope would you be?
 Abbie is out with her 6-year-old daughter Sarah, they are in a busy market street when Abbie lets go of Sarah's hand for a second and she's gone. Yes Abbie isn't having it easy, she exhaust, a young mam with a small child, but that doesn't mean she wanted this. After nothing and no clues to where, who or what has happened, life has to move on. Six years later and Abbie's preparing for her wedding, she moved on but stopped blaming herself and never forgotten that day. When she gets a call from a unknown man that says he knows what's happened to Sarah, but there's something else if she tells anyone or doesn't follow his instructions, he'll never tell. Will Abbie do what he wants? Is this for real, can she trust him?
What would you do to know about your child?
I read this book in one sitting as I had to know what happened and why. This is a psychological thriller that will have you gripped for the beginning. I'll be looking for more books by Vikki.
