When Ellie goes missing on the first day of Schueberfouer, the police are dismissive, keen not to attract negative attention on one of Luxembourg's most important events.
Probation officer, Cate Austin, has moved for a fresh start, along with her daughter Amelia, to live with her police detective boyfriend, Olivier Massard. But when she realises just how casually he is taking the disappearance of Ellie, Cate decides to investigate matters for herself.
She discovers Luxembourg has a dark heart. With its geographical position, could it be the centre of a child trafficking ring? As Cate comes closer to discovering Ellie's whereabouts she uncovers a hidden world, placing herself in danger, not just from traffickers, but from a source much closer to home.

I've enjoyed other books by the author, and I really loved Nowhere Girl. I read a lot of thrillers and the plot sounded on par with other books I've read. Thankfully, the book is very original and ends up going places quite unexpected. This delighted me. I love it when an author surprises me. I liked the fact the chapters have different narrators including Ellie, Cate, and Ellie's mother. You're never quite sure where the book is going to go. This is a fantastic, original thriller with complex characters and plenty of twists.
