What if you left your child alone, and something terrible happened?

Anna James is an anxious mother. So when she has to leave eleven-year-old Harrie home alone one evening, she can’t stop worrying about her daughter. But nothing bad ever happens in the sleepy village of Barton St Martin.

Except something goes wrong that night, and Anna returns to find Harrie with bruises she won’t explain. The next morning a local businessman is reported missing and the village is sparking with gossip.

Anna is convinced there’s a connection and that Harrie is in trouble. But how can she protect her daughter if she doesn’t know where the danger is coming from?

My Thoughts:

This story is about Anna who is a mother to three girls, she is a very anxious mother and wont let them do things other mothers say is fine. When she has to leave one f her daughters home alone, she can’t stop worrying but something does go wrong that night and her daughter wont talk about it. Can Anne find out what happened that night to her daughter? I liked the idea of this story I found it had a good pace to it that kept me engaged, I liked the story and how it flowed, I liked how the story is set out, different chapters with different names so you find out what they are thinking and how it affects them. The ending was ok.

I received a ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
