Review:

This book deals with a mystery that happened twenty-five years ago and has still not been solved. Cynthia, now an adult, is not the most endearing of characters, but the book is so well written that you feel empathy for her and her nightmare situation. The book contains is a very intricate web of storylines, and none of the answers is revealed until the very end. Until then I guarantee you will keep trying to guess what happened and why. In fact, for the first time in a long while I was almost tempted to read the end of the book just to find out what happened – an indication of how badly I wanted to know! The ending was dramatic, if a little implausible, but this is still a great book. One word of warning though… Set aside a couple of days because this is a book that has to be read in one hit - it is impossible to put down.
