This is a story about Barney who has been missing for 5 years.
His new stepmum, Heidi, believes she has seen him in the back room of an off licence but her husband, Barney's Dad, says she is mistaken. Heidi still believes that 'Mikey' is really Barney and goes to great lengths to find the truth, jeopardising her marriage, her career and her own safety.
Just when I was reading my way towards the predictable ending, the unexpected happens.
All the adult characters in this book have secrets and flaws and in some places the story was beyond belief.
The ending gets the reader to reassess where their sympathies lie. Has Heidi done the right thing? What will the future hold for all those involved?
