Description
A road trip across America with her teenage daughter was meant to be much-needed bonding time for Simone before Lucy leaves home for university. But on the first night of their stay, in a cabin deep in the Texan desert, Simone wakes to find Lucy missing and a mobile phone in her place. The phone rings and the voice on the other end issues instructions: Don't tell the police. Come to this location. Be prepared to do a deal... There is nothing Simone wouldn't do to save her daughter. Hide the truth. Commit a terrible crime. Become a wanted woman. But there's one thing she hasn't considered. What if this is just what the kidnappers want?

I love Gillian's writing and she is an auto-buy pre-order author for me. Unfortunately, this one felt like it was missing the usual spark that gets me hooked from the get go like with previous books. Despite being a parent myself, I just didn't feel a connection with either parent. This hasn't put me off Gillan's work and I will continue to pre-order her next work.
