Fortune is a man who has found himself so far removed from life with his family that when his daughter goes missing he doesn't know what to do or how to connect with his estranged wife.
As time passes and the investigation is cut back, he accuses the police of giving up on her, whilst guiltily realising that he himself gave up a longtime ago.
Sophie, the daughter, has a history of depression and attempted suicide on a number of occasions and the longer time passes with no information the easier it seems for people to assume that she has taken her own life. However, it has been mentioned that she was having issues with someone who had started trolling her online (leaving nasty comments on her blog?) and the book description hints that this may have seeped offline too....
I think the tension will gradually build in this thriller, I like the way the author keeps the different story threads unravelling by lifting each in turn.
I am eager to see how they all converge.
The cover gives the impression of a dark and foreboding thriller full of tension.
I'm left with questions that can only be answered by reading more....
•IS Sophie alive?
If not, what happened to her?
•Was the sheet really a suicide note (i think not) or was it her thoughts regarding the problems she was having with someone trolling her online (and possibly IRL too?)?
•Is Sophie the journalist/writer of the blog extract? Or is this someone else, who may or may not help Fortune find out what happened to his daughter?
•If it IS someone else, is there a connection between the commentator on THIS blog and the troll Sophie was dealing with?
