I really felt for Faye and her sister in law and what they were going through. Yet again I loved the build up of suspense as to what has happened to Jake and his son. It’s obvious that something has happened in the small seaside town but just what, I had no clue and we are fed bits throughout the main story of the disappearance of Jake and Dylan whilst waiting for this revelation. The story flicks from present day to the past when Jake and his sister were in their teens.

Luckily for her they went with her sister in law and her family so she has someone to lean on. What should have been a lovely family holiday turns out to be Faye’s worst nightmare. I really don’t know how she does it but yet again she has totally knocked my socks off.
