Sophie is missing! It’s every parent’s worst nightmare. Harry and Zara King are desperate to find their seventeen-year-old daughter, Sophie. She left their home one day and has not been seen since. They are not happy with the investigation and decide to do their own investigation by questioning everyone they think might know something. They both know one thing – that they will do whatever it takes to find out where or what happened to their daughter. They have a suspect in mind, so much so that they become obsessed with this individual….

Readers get the POV of both parents. Their desperation and pain jump off the pages. Both turn inwards to do what works for them in terms of dealing with their sense of loss. Not knowing what happened to their daughter has pushed them apart, each in their own private pain.

Readers also get to be silent observers in the court proceedings involving both Harry and Zara. I had so many questions in my head while reading this book. Getting to the answers was quite a journey through Harry and Zara’s loss and pain.

I struggled a little in the beginning of this book. I wasn’t sure that this was the book for me, but I hung in there and soon enough, I was fully invested and wanting to know if Sophie would be found.

This was a thought-provoking book and my first book by Imran Mahmood. I look forward to reading more of this author’s books in the future.
