I would have given this book five stars but only gave it four as I found the first quarter of the book was full of different characters that sometimes it was a job to keep track of them all. This book is the second in the Sophie Kent series of books and the story is told mostly through her eyes. She is a reporter for the London Herald newspaper, her father owns Kent Industries at the skyscraper known as the Gherkin. She has a brother Tommy and throughout the book she is trying to find out what happened to cause his death. After being nearby as a body of a young woman is dragged from the Thames, Sophie is then drawn into investigating this case. Several leads seem to go nowhere and after fellow journalist Charlie is accussed of murder and subsequently disappears without trace, Sophie is determined to find out the truth. Is Charlie's marriage to internet blogger Emily all it seems to be? Is Charlie involved with a religious cult? What is the connection with Charlie's mother and father? All these threads all come together at the end of the book when you learn the truth and sometimes it is not what you think. Very cleverly written to keep you guessing right to the end.
