An enjoyable book that was hard to put down. I can’t imagine anyone guessing the ending because it all gets a bit too far fetched towards the end but it was fun seeing what the author had come up with.

The story bounces between 11 years ago and the present, told by different people; then and now. At times the jumping was difficult to follow, but other timesit flowed well. It is a good read with interesting side twists,if you enjoy modern thrillers; I would recommend this book
Donny Rock
This is the story of two somewhat interconnected women who disappear. it is told from the points of view of three involved people, past and present. There are multiple blind alleys with suspicion moving from person to person. The increasing tension throughout escalates the narrative to 'unputdownable'.

I am seventy years old and from about twelve I have read at least one book a week. This book has the stupidest most unbelievable ending I have ever read. I do not recommend wasting your time reading this book.

The reader is definitely required to suspend a great deal of disbelief, but it is a page turner and a great escape.
