Summary

Single mum Ellie is shown a missing person post on Facebook.

It’s of her three-year-old son, Tyler…

But he’s right there, holding her hand.

Surely this is some kind of prank – she knows her friend Louise can go too far with her jokes sometimes. And Ellie is used to the other mums gossiping at the school gates…

But now the other parents are questioning whether Tyler is really her child.

Ellie does everything she can to prove the post is fake, but the longer it goes on she knows it is malicious. Who would do this to her? And why?

It could be her ex, Darren, but deep down she knows it must be linked to what happened all those years ago – the night she’s been doing her best to forget…

All she knows is that she has to keep her son safe – no matter what.

Critic reviews

'A dark and disturbing thriller... A cast of shady characters, a secret Ellie doesn't want to expose, and an unseen threat to her son all make for a twisted thriller that I thoroughly enjoyed.' M A Hunter, author of Adrift

Well performed but

There is a half decent story in here but the writing is so simplistic that it doesn’t do it justice.

Title?

I’m not really sure why this book is called “Missing” when nobody is missing. For me, it didn’t really turn out to be the story I thought it would be and I found the main character frustrating at best. Not great.

Dreadful

Narration dreadful. Everything is a gush of breath - from birthday treats to rape! A simple story bulked out by unnecessary descriptions and unrealistic responses!
