22-year-old Olivia is missing. One day and counting. Last seen on CCTV. Julia, the detective is heading the investigation. She thinks she knows how this will go � but�

She has no idea how personal this is going to get. Because the criminal at the heart of the disappearance is holding all the cards. He has an important secret. Julia’s most important secret. And everything depends on this secret being kept. Julia cannot find out what happened to Olivia � and she must frame someone else for her murder, or her secret will come out.

How do you overcome something like this?

I didn’t know how to feel. What would I do in a similar position?

This book grabs readers from the moment you pick it up. And that was my biggest mistake. I picked it up too late in the day, and missed a lot of good hours of sleep!

Now, keep in mind, Julia Day is a good police officer. She is committed to justice and doing the right thing. She has a spotless reputation.

ܳ�

There is this one cold case that haunts her.

And clearly, Olivia’s case is testing her moral codes.

The chapters are told from 3 POV’s: Julia, Emma and Lewis. I won’t say who they are because that would be a spoiler. As the tension builds, the three paths braid together, and it all starts to make sense.

Mostly, it keeps readers guessing. (Maybe a bit confused.)

There were points in the writing, where I found myself annoyed, but that could have been lack of sleep, or some minor flaws in the writing style…but…for the most part, the story was exciting, complicated and thrilling.

I don't think it is her best one Marialyce. I gave it 4 stars, but, I think I was being generous. :)
