The Child Before by Michael Scanlon
2.0
I had such high hopes for this book, after reading the blurb I was so excited but i found I was left disappointed.
Based in a small town in Ireland and centred around DI Finnegan Beck as he tries to solve the case of a a missing child.
The book flips between present and past tense when another child went missing.
I really liked the character of Beck, he is flawed with a troubled past.
The content is descriptive and graphic and fits nicely with the small chapters breaking up the book.
I liked the concept of the main plot but there are too many sub plots, and it all entangles and becomes confusing.
I really wasn’t a fan of this, something that is evident by the 15 days of took me to read it.
Thank you to Netgalley for a advanced copy in exchange for a honest review.
