I've read and really enjoyed a few of the author's book so was looking forward to The Lost Hours which sounded a bit darker than other books I've read by the author. I thought this was a terrific psychological thriller full of well-written characters and twists and turns which kept me flicking the pages. I loved the premise, a 20-year old case resurfacing and shaking the foundation of the lives of several people, one who is likely the killer. If David isn't the killer a family member must be or is something else going on? I loved the way the seemingly innocent domestic life of the characters struggles to go in in the midst of such turmoil. I thought this was a great read.
