Het verhaal was spannend, maar niet spannend genoeg voor mij waardoor het boek dagenlang onaangeraakt op mijn nachtkastje kon liggen. Het boek had wel een verrassende plot die ik niet zag aankomen.
Ondanks dat ik het boek heel niet snel uitlas, ik deed er namelijk bijna twee maanden over, vond ik het een goed boek en raad ik hem zeker aan!

This book was read in two long sittings. It was smartly written and I really enjoyed it. There were a few lose ands as -others pointed out and my questions mostly revolve around Danny:

What did his friend who Sam talked to on the phone mean ( or what was the Author leading us to) when he talked about Danny being different lately?

What was Danny getting to if he asked Sam if she had really looked at Finn? What did he see?

What exactly did Danny walk into that would have caused X and the doctor to do what they did. We're they packing her stuff...etc?

Why did her house burn and why did she not pursue Finn in the London park?

I'm always pleasantly surprised when I pick up a new read by a new author that I've never even heard of and my daring choice pays off. This book was a wonderfully suspenseful page-turner. I'm always rather uneasy with novels in first person (this one flip-flopped, but was primarily in first), but Nicci managed to do it in a way that wasn't overwhelming. The characters were well developed and interesting to tag along with. POTENTIAL SPOILERS: There were a few loose ends that I would've liked tied up; I'm curious to know who "X" was and how she found Elsie again in the park. What happened with Baird and the rest of the case? I suppose this is the sort of book that could've had a sequel. Still, I rather enjoyed it and I've gained a new author to enjoy.

This book took me by surprise. It wasn't what I imagined when I read the synopsis, but it was better. I saw character development in Sam, she was funny and courageous, and Elsie was damn right adorable. The twists and turns were ones I did not see coming and I loved the guessing game it had going on. I thoroughly enjoyed this read and I'd recommend it to anyone.
