‘I don’t know who you are or why you’ve come here,’ I say, jabbing my finger at her, shaking as much as my voice. ‘But you are not my daughter. You are not Abigail.’Fourteen years ago , our family holiday ended in tragedy when my darling four-year-old girl was snatched from us on the beach. Not a day goes by when I don’t picture her wide brown eyes, and the freckles dusting her cheeks. I only looked away for a second, and I have never forgiven myself.Today , a seventeen-year-old girl has walked into a police station near our house. She says she’s my daughter. Abigail is back. I can’t believe it. After years of grieving, my family is finally complete again.This should be the happiest moment of my life, but something doesn’t feel quite right. As hard as I try, I don’t know the teenager in front of me. Then holes appear in Abigail’s story, her accent starts to slip, and I catch her faking tears for the journalists outside – and I’m more certain than ever that she is not my daughter. That she is a stranger. And that we cannot trust her…But if this mysterious girl isn’t Abigail, then who is she – and what does she want with my family?A totally unputdownable psychological thriller with a twist that will blow you away.
This was a fast paced page turning book with lots of twists and turns you wouldn’t expect and quiet a page turner too.
Years ago, Sarah’s daughter Abigail mysteriously disappeared. Present day, a girl named Abi comes to the police station claiming that she was the missing girl Abigail Wicks. But when Sarah meets her, she believes that Abi is not her daughter. Is someone impersonating her daughter?
This was actually really good, the story is told in Sarah’s and Abis point of view. As a reader you know that one of them is hiding something . There were twists and turns, the ending was completely unexpected. I also like the authors style of writing – it was compelling and did a good job of drawing the reader to the story. Overall This thriller worth a whopping five stars!!
