I enjoyed the pace and was really into the story for most of the book, however as we got nearer to the end I found it got more and more unbelievable and silly so I wasn't a fan of the ending.

Annie has received to her horror a fake video of a daughter’s Isla’s Funeral. he is distraught and her daughter’s relationship has been fractious lately since she split up with her husband Grant. But she goes and checks on her anyway. The message with the video is asking her to pay £1000 a month to an account in the Cayman Islands to keep her daughter alive. She is being blackmailed.
With her experience in financial matters, Annie delves into the dark world of Blackmail and scammers. She finds out that there is more people also in her situation and she set out to find out who these people are. But she wants to do it on her own and not contact the Police which leads her in all sorts of trouble.
I am a big fan of M. J Arlidge’s work so I was excited to read to read ‘Your child next’ which he co-wrote with Andy Maslen.
This is a spine tingly tense read and quite relevant on what happens today, and I read it quite quickly. This has great characters and the storyline was good. The only thing that was annoying me was why Annie wasn’t involving the Police and because of that I thought the ending was a bit farfetched. 4 stars from me,
