My Recommendation

 

Karen is holding together a broken marriage, then one evening her deaf 8 year old daughter, Scarlett goes missing and her world collapses.  Karen fears Scarlett’s cochlear implant’s battery will soon run out and she will be plunged into silence as well as being lost.  They call the Garda and start looking closer at Scarlett’s drawing which shows her friend Hope, who Karen always thought was Scarlett’s twin who didn’t survive but now fear Scarlett has been kidnapped by this women who also features on cctv with Scarlett.
The clock is ticking and as time goes by, secrets begin to unravel and the reason for Scarlett’s disappearance becomes clear.  
A fast paced domestic thriller.  With self absorbed parents, Scarlett is a resilient, resourceful young lady.  An enjoyable read.
