Another fabulous read from Pigeonhole! A babysitter is found dead and a baby has gone missing. Throw in a couple of distraught parents, an adulterous husband, a long suffering wife, a confirmed bachelor girl sister and a sulky teenage daughter and the stage is set.I found this book a page turner. I was gripped throughout even though the characters were all very unlikeable. It’s one of those thrillers where everyone is a suspect and the reader is led on a cat and mouse chase to discover ‘whodunnit’. It took me on quite the journey and definitely kept me guessing. However, I did have my own theory and my assumption did turn out to be correct. ? Even so, I thoroughly enjoyed the ride.
