I ran to get help. But her body disappeared. Will anyone believe me?
Megan is unpacking in the spare room of her sister's house when she hears the scream.
Racing to the nearby woods, she is shocked to see a young woman's unconscious body: her pink top bright against the earth, her long, dark hair wet from a nearby stream. But when desperate Megan returns with the police, all they find is empty woodland.
She's been through so much, her sister whispers, welcoming her home with a kind smile. You can't blame her for seeing things.
But Megan knows what she saw - and her past shouldn't come into it. Was the young woman dead, or dying? How can a body just disappear?
Megan left home for a good reason. Now, confronting the past could be the only way to find the truth. But what if Megan is in danger, too? And what price will she have to pay, to find the girl from the woods?

I'm a fan of the author and was looking forward to reading The Missing Body. The blurb sounded like the kind of thriller I'd enjoy. I really wanted to know what had happened to the girl's body. This book got a hold of me after the first few lines and refused to let me go. I love it when a book does that. I didn't want to stop reading because I was enjoying it so much trying to work out what the hell was going on. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it.
