The Day I Lost You by Alex Sinclair
2.0
THE DAY I LOST YOU by Alex Sinclair has an interesting premise; a faulty elevator leaves Erika Rice separated from her young daughter, Alice. The building is secure, access is restricted to pass holders, yet there is no sign of Alice. Is she simply lost? Or is there something more sinister at play?
I quite enjoyed the author’s writing. Erika’s panic at losing Alice is palpable and the tension builds nicely the further the story progresses. However, I felt the plot execution was unsuccessful. Inconsistencies in the story and some highly questionable actions on the part of several characters result in an overall implausible read.
Even though this one’s not for me, I would happily give the author’s other books a go.
