Review: Now You See Her

Now You See Her by Heidi Perks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Charlotte is looking after her best friend’s daughter the day she disappears. She thought the little girl was playing with her own children. She swears she only took her eyes off them for a second.

Now, Charlotte must do the unthinkable: tell her best friend Harriet that her only child is missing. The child she was meant to be watching.

Devastated, Harriet can no longer bear to see Charlotte. No one could expect her to trust her friend again.
Only now she needs to. Because two weeks later Harriet and Charlotte are both being questioned separately by the police. And secrets are about to surface.
Someone is hiding the truth about what really happened to Alice.
 
Losing your own child is a dreadful thing to contemplate. Losing someone else's child seems worse. That's what happens to Charlotte. Entrusted with her friend's only child Alice at the school fete, Charlotte is devastated when Alice disappears. Especially as she is made to feel as if she allowed it to happen by not keeping a close enough eye on Alice.

However, as this book unfolds, with twists and turns it's gradually revealed that this is not a straightforward abduction case. But just who is behind Alice's disappearance? No spoilers here but it wasn't who I first suspected and I was so gripped I finished the book in just two sessions.
