NO ONE BELIEVED THE GIRLS…

1985. Separated from her little sister at the children’s home where they are taken as orphans, Holly Moore is a troubled teenager in need of love. When she meets a man who promises to take care of her, she hopes her luck has finally changed.

2015. The clock is ticking for Superintendent Jo Hamilton when the discovery of a young woman’s remains takes her back to an unsolved case from the past. As a constable, Jo was often called out to deal with runaways from Morgate House, but when Holly Moore disappeared – after another female resident fell from the cliffs – Jo was convinced the home was hiding something. Now, with only days before her forced retirement, Jo decides to track down Holly’s sister and re-open the case. But will the trail lead her disturbingly close to home?

My Thoughts:

I have never read any of Emily’s books before so was not sure what to expect. The plot sounded good and something I would enjoy. The story flits from the before and the now and I felt every chapter left something so you knew you had to read on. It intrigued me what the outcome would be. I liked Superintendent Jo Hamilton and I think she is good at her job and wants the best for everyone. I liked when the time flits back to the past as you really get a good sense of the story and what happened previously. I read this book in a day as I just felt as though I couldn’t leave it and I wanted to know how the ending would play out. I never guessed who the killer was and it shocked and surprised me. A great read and I cannot wait to read more by Emily.

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