Late one summer night, Elizabeth Sanderson receives the devastating news that every mother fears: her 13-year-old son, Tommy, has vanished in the woods of a local park. Riddled with worry, pain, and guilt, Elizabeth is wholly unprepared for the strange series of events that follow. As the search grows more desperate, and the implications of what happened become more haunting and sinister, no one is prepared for the shocking truth about that night.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book as I've really enjoyed some of the author's books but others have left me cold. Thankfully, this is a fantastic read. I really enjoyed it. The book starts off as you'd expect from a book about a missing teenager and seems innocent enough as these thing can be. But as time passes the questions mount. Elizabeth suspects his 'friends' aren't being honest and struggles to get to the truth while dealing with online abuse from trolls determined to drag Tommy's name through the gutter. Gradually, more sinister revelations are made about what happened in the weeks leading up to Tommy's disappearance and their strange new adult friend Arnold. Will Elizabeth want the truth when she gets it? I thought this was a great book.
