Lost Girls by Angela Marsons
4.0
Two girls go missing. Only one will return.
The couple that offers the highest amount will see their daughter again. The losing couple will not. Make no mistake. One child will die.
When nine-year-old best friends Charlie and Amy disappear, two families are plunged into a living nightmare. A text message confirms the unthinkable; that the girls are the victims of a terrifying kidnapping.
And when a second text message pits the two families against each other for the life of their children, the clock starts ticking for D.I. Kim Stone and the squad.
Seemingly outwitted at every turn, as they uncover a trail of bodies, Stone realises that these ruthless killers might be the most deadly she has ever faced. And that their chances of bringing the girls home alive, are getting smaller by the hour…
Untangling a dark web of secrets from the families’ past might hold the key to solving this case. But can Kim stay alive long enough to do so? Or will someone’s child pay the ultimate price?
Lost Girls is the third installment of the DI Kim Stone series and like the previous two books, it had me hooked from the first page. The book was fast moving and keep me wanting to read 'just one more chapter', regardless of the night-time hours.
As a parent myself, I could not imagine having to go through a bidding match with close friends in order to get only one child back. DI Kim Stone is a strong and determined character, but she has her flaws; but I think she's great!
I have no hesitation in recommending this novel to all crime/thriller lovers.
