Bring Me Back by B.A. Paris
4.0

I highly recommend "Bring me Back" to fans of psychological thrillers and mysteries. The plot moves quickly and keeps the readers interest page after page. With thanks to netgalley.com, the author (B.A. Paris) and the publisher (St Martin's Press) to the advanced copy.

Young couple, Finn and Layla, are returning to England from a ski weekend in France when, at a roadside rest area, Layla disappears. Finn returns from the rest room and she is simply gone. Fast forward twelve years, and odd events bring her sudden disappearance to the forefront of Finn's mind, as he prepares to marry Ellen, Layla's older sister. The early pages of the novel alternate between chapters of "then" and "Now" to fill us in on the relationships Finn has with these women, and how it all starts to unravel. In the ending stages of the book, the chapters are all in the "now" but the narrator changes, letting us into Finn's mind as well as "Layla's" (won't say more, as the crux of the mystery is who has contacted Finn after all these years?). Well crafted and well told, this story leaves you guessing and turning pages to the very end.
