The old Victorian pier was once a thing of beauty. It’s also where twenty-one-year-old Sophie Collier vanished eighteen years ago.
Francesca has spent the last twenty years haunted by the disappearance of her best friend. But when she receives a phone call from Sophie’s brother saying that a body has been found, she knows she can’t keep hiding from what happened. With her own secrets to keep, Francesca doesn’t relish the idea of digging up the past or returning to Oldcliffe. But it is time to go back to where she grew up, and it looks like she isn’t the only one there hiding truths.
I’m going to keep this review short.
This was an odd book. There were parts that felt exciting, but there were also parts that I felt were slow. It’s impossible to like Frankie. Her chapters were current time and she was talking to Sophie, her dead best friend. There were older chapters written by Sophie in a diary type format. The story about Sophie’s past and death slowly come together.
Warnings for talk of rape.
I gave this book 4 stars (closer to 3 1/2 for me).
Have you read this? Is it on your TBR?
