A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

WINNER OF JIMMY FALLON'S SUMMER READS BOOK CLUB

'I was totally gripped' DOUGLAS STUART

'Immersive and enthralling' PAULA HAWKINS

___________

'If you venture into those woods you’re still sure of a big surprise’ The Times

Some said it was tragic, what happened to the Van Laars.

Some said the family deserved it. That they never even thanked the searchers who stayed out for five nights in the freezing forest trying to help find their missing son.

Some said there was a reason it took the family so long to call for help. That they knew what happened to the boy.

Now, fifteen years later, the Van Laars' teenage daughter has gone missing in the same wilderness as her brother. Some say the two disappearances aren’t connected.

Some say they are.

Gripping story

I loved the careful way she build up the story - it was so beautifully written and I loved the sensitive way she presented her flawed
characters. The setting was made very real and she kept us guessing till the end . Wonderful .
