There was one other thing that bothered me with the books the unknown narrator. I just never really got that “I-can’t-put-the-book-away-feeling”…

Not that the book is boring, it was a good read. I would have liked a story more complex, so complex that you can’t stop reading to find out what happens next. Nothing in the book made me go all “what the hell did that come from” when something was reviled it was more of a feeling of “of course”. It was an interesting story with an explosive ending, but in the end, the twist and turning weren't all that surprising. This book by Declan Hughes made me think about books by Harlan Coben and Linwood Barclay in the way everything wasn’t the way one expected and because of all the twist and turns in the story. And the past that the boys tried to forget will not be forgotten so much longer. Something happened thirty-five years ago, that changed four boys and a little girls’ life, something bad. Suddenly her life has turned upside done, but that is just the start. That is what Claire Taylor finds when she comes home after a week in Chicago. Instead, the house is empty, no family no furniture’s and the dog lies dead in the garden. Imagine coming home to your house expecting to be greeted by your husband and your children.
