Last updated on 28 Jun 2023This whirlwind story is fast paced and easily read in one sitting. As the title denotes, the story is about Dawn and her grown up daughter
Ellie who Dawn would love Ellie to settle down with a boyfriend and move out of home. Told from Dawn and Ellie’s point of view, the pair set off to LA to meet Ellie’s new online boyfriend. Dawn going to ensure Ellie is safe. They are met at the airport by boyfriend Daryl and his dad Harvey. On the journey to their house, Dawn sees a lots of posters for a missing girl and gets blank responses when she questions Harvey. Suffering with jet lag, Dawn is up early and explores the house, she goes into the basement and unearths some items clearly no one wanted her to see. Including a photo of Daryl and the missing girl. Alarm bells start ringing when Ellie isn’t in bed, and she learns Daryl has taken her to a secluded spot. Is Ellie in danger?
A clearly written story, with the title making you wary of Daryl, but he wasn’t the only person with secrets and a dark side.
You won’t be let down by Daniel Hursts latest, delivering a punchy psychological thriller.
