DC Cat Kinsella is torn between abiding by the police rules and protecting her family. When Cat was eight years old, Maryanne Doyle, a teenager from the Irish town where Cat's family was on holiday visiting her gran, disappeared. Maryanne Doyle was the teenager every girl wanted to be. DC Cat Kinsella was convinced her dad had something to do with murder even though he denied ever knowing her, she never trusted her Dad since.
Eighteen years later, Cat is a Detective Constable with London's Metropolitan Police Force. Still a little on edge after the troubling end to her last case, she is quickly thrown into a new case, this one dealing with the murder of a young wife named Alice Lapaine. Cat and her colleague believe Alice's husband is the prime suspect in her murder once more and more information is uncovered about their relationship, but all that changes when the police department receives a phone call which links Alice to Maryanne Doyle.
Cat doesn't know what to do. When she starts putting the facts together, including the fact that Alice's body was found not far from the pub her father runs, she wonders if the suspicions she's had about her father all these years really were warranted. Could her father really have been responsible for Maryanne's disappearance? Could he have harmed Alice, too? If she divulges her connections to Maryanne, she'll be taken off the case, and the more that she gets involved, the more she puts her job at risk. But the more she tries to get to the bottom of her father's involvement, the more danger she's in of ruining their relationship—and her relationship with the rest of her family—for good.
I loved this book! I could not put this down. At first I didn't really understand what direction this book was heading but out of nowhere, it all started to make sense. Caz Frear had me guessing right up to the last chapter. Very clever twists and plots by this new upcoming author, it's hard to believe this is her first book. If you want a stay up all night suspense read - grab this book, you will not be disappointed!!!
