J'ai adoré ce roman policier aux nombreux rebondissements, tellement nombreux et inattendus qu'on en perd presque haleine à force de courir, au fil des mots et des phrases, après les kidnappeurs de la petite Cora. C'est clairement un roman qu'il est difficile de lâcher. Le seul bémol pour moi est la fin. J'avoue ne pas l'apprécier. Un prolongement qui ne dure qu'un chapitre mais qui n'était pas utile, l'intrigue étant arrivée à sa conclusion.
Je lui mets quand même 5 étoiles.

It's been a while since I've rated a book 5 stars! All of the mysteries and thrillers I've read lately start off very promising, but then don't end up making the cut. This story had me hooked from start to finish. I actually finished it in one day because I just did not want to put it down.
Marco and Anne Conti are invited to a dinner party--but the baby sitter cancels at the last minute. After a heated argument, they finally decide to leave the baby at home and they'll take turns checking on her every half hour since it's right next door. This set up is fine until the baby disappears.
This tale is weaved so well that I really wasn't sure "whodunnit" at all. I had even been texting my boyfriend about each development in the story and how I definitely would not have guessed what was going to happen with each new arc. With this being Shari's debut novel, I am highly impressed. I cannot wait for her to write more books so I can spend a day devouring them.
I don't even want to tell you more about this story because I don't want to give anything away. I was just so distressed and excited with each new page. Read this book, it's so well worth the time.

If someone were to ask me for a mystery/thriller book recommendation, there would be no scenario in which I were eager to have someone read this book
Lots of twists and turns. I read it in a few hours. A fun read!
I finished this book last night.I stayed awake till 3 to finish it I was that invested in the story -It was so good.
I had my suspicions that it was the dad who staged the whole thing and I was right but what I didn’t expect was that the father of the mother killed Marco’s accomplice in the cabin I was shocked.
Also the ending??OMG-
I was staring at the book for 5 minutes after I read the last page
Overall 5 stars well deserved!

Meh - it was ok, definitely not worth the hype (IMO). The story definitely flowed and was an easy read. I definitely called it and knew what happened or at least who was behind it...however I did have to Keep second guessing myself. The ending was very disappointing.
