The Taken Child by Maria Frankland / #Review #BooksOnTour @bookouture

As I race towards the lake, Toby’s life unfolds before me, from the day he entered this world to his first day at school. Please let me find him. I’ll do anything. But my sweet little boy is nowhere to be seen.

It kills me that the only way I can spend proper time with my son Toby is by helping out at his school camp. I sit under the emerald green pine trees and Toby’s little face lights up as he runs past me, joining the other chattering, happy children around us. Then I see my ex, David, glaring at me and my heart sinks. He may have full custody, but he’d love nothing more than for me to disappear. Forever.

As the excitement of the first day at this isolated camp dies down, I cherish the long goodnight hug I get to give to my beautiful little boy. I’d do anything to get Toby back.

But my dreams for us are shattered when the next morning ends in shock and chaos. A body has been found. There’s a killer in the camp. We can’t trust anyone. And then my worst nightmares come true: Toby disappears.

Does the killer have my child? I’ve already come so far to protect Toby. How much further will I have to go, to get him back safe and sound?

Review

Well, the author certainly made my brain work overtime!

This book is one giant web made of lies and deceit and one big spider in the middle who is the instigator of it all, making a lot of people sad, furious and jealous.

Sometimes you go too far and someone will hold a grudge, biding their time before they pounce.

Someone thinks they know it all and the whole world is at their feet. But when you are on a high horse for too long, it’s time you dismount and someone will happily help you do so.

The cat is waiting for the right time to lure the mouse into the trap, but what if the mouse has help and the roles are being reversed?

A plan can be perfect on paper, but that does not mean it’s foolproof.

I love the cover ot this book and I loved the intrigues and twists. An excellent story by an author who always delivers. 5 stars

Thank you

About the author

Maria Frankland has a dubious internet search history and a very worried mother-in-law. However, neither of these things can stop her writing gripping psychological thrillers in which you’ll never find a happy-ever-after.

Her novels are mostly set in Yorkshire where you’ll hear the accent through all her characters. These are people you could live next door to, or closer still… don’t say you haven’t been warned.

Maria’s novels are fast-paced, down to earth and realistic. You never know what’s around the corner…
