Evie Wingfield and her mother, Lauren, are your typical mother-daughter pair, bickering at times but with a deep love underneath. Lauren is hoping that Evie\u2019s Christmas break from her London law studies will provide time for them to relax and get past the teenage moodiness, but when she arrives at the dorms to pick Evie up, she\u2019s not there. The sleepy young man who answers the dorm door swears that this has been his place for months, and the school\u2019s security can\u2019t (or won\u2019t?) provide answers. At once, the reader is dropped into Lauren\u2019s nightmare. Nobody will take Evie\u2019s disappearance seriously enough, and Lauren and her young son, Lucas, a secondary character who might be the novel\u2019s strongest, in effect start their own police procedural. What follows is one of the most exciting stories I\u2019ve read in some time, and definitely with one of the most startling ending twists.<\/strong> After this, you\u2019ll want to try Logan\u2019s previous works, The Mother<\/em> and The Holiday<\/em>.\u2014Henrietta Thornton<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
