Synopsis (Amazon)
Every parent's worst nightmare. A case too close to home.
Elissa Ricci left her baby in the bassinet while she took a shower. Ten minutes later, the back door was open and Sienna was gone.
Detective Sergeant Kate Miles has just returned from maternity leave when she’s thrown into the case. Kate suspects Sienna’s parents are somehow involved in their daughter’s disappearance. But what would drive parents to risk never seeing their child again?
The frenzied Australian press put the force under pressure like never before. Kate is already linked to one media storm and her station chief is looking for any excuse to kick her off the case. If she can’t uncover the truth about what happened to Sienna, Kate stands to lose her career as well as an innocent life.
My Take
An absolutely gripping read.
Kate is struggling with her return to work from maternity leave, but she knows how she would feel if her baby Amy was suddenly taken. There are so many other factors in Elissa Ricci's life, not the least being that her husband Aaron, supposedly at a conference, can't be contacted.
Kate's husband Geoff can't understand Kate's need to be at work, and to give her all to the job. And then other personal factors poke their noses in.
There are many false trails, many suspects, and battles with her colleagues add to Kate's exhaustion. And all the time the clock is ticking.
My rating: 4.8
