Who can you trust?
Josie’s daughter has been taken. She’s desperate, scared and wanting nothing more than to get her child back. She is convinced that Samuel Barlow has taken her. She knows Samuel, she has since she was a child. He’s the one who killed her younger brother, Jimmy in 1993. Her testimony helped put him in prison. But he’s out, paroled early and now her daughter is missing. Like all books, there are characters in this book that readers will either like or dislike. But will you feel sympathy for any of them?
This book is an examination of ‘who can you trust?’ It’s about mothers trying to protect their children and about the truth. Like all books with a mystery, I did my own super sleuthing and came up with a list of subjects. I guessed two of the plot twists early on, but I still found this book to be enjoyable. Confession, Samuel was my favorite character. I feel he was the most developed and richly drawn character. He is devious, manipulative, and cruel, yet he is also a little sympathetic. He is the most complicated character in this book, and I love complicated characters. He’s unlikeable yet, has suffered emotional pain in his life which has fueled his anger and actions.
You can feel Josie’s fear as she is searching for her daughter, and I felt sorry for her and yet…
Samuel’s Mother wants to help, but she lied in the past to protect her child. Can she be trusted now?
Every step of the way, readers will be wondering who can be trusted. This book is told through various character’s POV and in the current time and in 1993.
Well written, full of twists and turns, and suspense. You will feel the tension dripping from the pages. Who can you trust????? Fans of K.L. Slater will not be disappointed!!!!!!
Twists, turns, secrets, deception…. Missing.
