John has a perfect life, until the day his daughter goes missing.
Maisie cares for her patients, but hides her own traumatic past.
Miller should be an innocent child, but is obsessed with something he can’t have.
They all have something in common, though none of them know it – and the truth won’t stay hidden for long . . .
Penzance and Oxford are the settings in this novel but they act as background information given that they are where characters are from and where they have been. Still two very nice places to learn about and Penzance in particular explains a lot about Maisie…
There’s a mention of a rather wonderful bookshop though! – Edge of the World Books
What is important is the inside of the characters homes, their heads and their darkest thoughts. Vague locations work for this novel as what matters is what actions the characters think about and what they do. Much of the story is internal dialogue and watching someone from the side lines which makes it very claustrophobic and creepy in places when you’re with the characters.
Wherever you live, there are people you just can’t trust.
