Your fiancé calls. ‘A little girl needs help.’ Then they both disappear…
Melody gazes across the rippling lake to the trees on the shore, waiting for her fiancé Evan to arrive so their family holiday can begin. Here in this cabin in a small Canadian island town, there’s so much space for their son to play. It’s going to be perfect – just like the first time Melody visited as a child. But then a call from Evan shatters her world.
‘There’s someone in the road. I think it’s a little girl. She’s covered in mud. Or… is it blood?’ His voice becomes distant. ‘Are you OK? What’s your name?’ Then there’s a thud.
Evan never arrives to the holiday cabin. Melody, and her son, are terrified and desperate for answers. But with miles of endless, empty forest, and no reports of a missing girl, what hope is there of finding Evan?
The more questions Melody asks of the locals, the more she fears a terrible secret hides just out of sight. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more danger she is in…

Review
Most of us have to happy childhood memories. We think about them with smiles on our faces and we promise ourselves we will go back to that happy place to enjoy it, not only with our family but also with our extended one and what’s most important of all, to give our child the chance to have the same wonderful experience we had at that same age.
This is what Melody has planned too, but when talking about her memories with other people who were present at that time, it seemed there are some things she seems to have forgotten. Was is because she was hiding them away because hey were not so nice or was it simply because of her young age and did she not see the gravity of those situations?
And now, whit everything that is going on during that longed for holiday, she starts rethinking everything, whishing she never booked that trip.
Where is her husband to be? Why does it feel like the police does not do very much and she is the only one discovering clues?
And then we find out the why and it left me flabbergasted.
A great typical Kerry Wilkinson story which means you are always in for a surprise. A page turner I enjoyed very, very much 5 stars
Thank you
