'She's Not There' is more an emotional exploration of family dynamics than a thrilling whodunnit, but there's a decent frisson of suspense throughout and I really liked the way the ending drew a number of elements together, This book kept me hooked from the beginning till the end, This is the first book I have read by this author and it certainly won't be the last! This is one of those slow burners that gently draws you in and then before you know it, it has got you hook, line and sinker, not allowing you to go anywhere until you get to the very end. She's Not There is a brilliant read. It lulls you into a false sense of security, dropping a few treats along the way, but like with a meal, my favourite part has to be, the dessert, or in this case the ending. Superb!, This novel has pace, heart, and deals with an issue that is painful even to contemplate. It could well be one for you., Fifteen years ago, Caroline Shipley's toddler daughter was kidnapped while they were on holiday in Mexico. Now a young woman has made contact, claiming to be the missing girl. Is she really Samantha? As Caroline digs deeper into this coldest of cold cases, she begins to doubt the veracity of everything she previously held as true in this taut psychological thriller from the author of New York Times best-sellers The First Time and Kiss Mommy Goodbye.
