The Missing Parts Of Thomas Bennett

By Emma Marnie

Everyone in Oakfield knows Thomas Bennett is a good man.

He is the gentle primary school teacher who remembers every frightened child, feeds the birds before breakfast, and believes kindness matters even when nobody is watching.
Then eight-year-old Poppy Mason vanishes during a school trip.
Thomas was responsible for her group. He looked away for only seconds. In the silence left behind, suspicion spreads faster than facts. His neighbour, Christine Harper, gives voice to the village's darkest doubts, and Thomas's carefully ordered life begins to collapse.
Then Thomas disappears.
Eight days later, Poppy is found alive inside an abandoned drainage chamber. She was never abducted. Thomas is innocent of the crime everyone imagined.
But Christine has been murdered.
When Thomas is discovered wandering miles from home, injured and unable to remember where he has been, he is desperate to help the police uncover the truth. Yet as fragments of the missing days begin to return, the evidence leads towards the one answer nobody wants to believe.
Thomas Bennett has spent his life doing good.
But can a lifetime of kindness survive one unforgivable act?
A haunting psychological thriller about memory, guilt and the terrible distance between being good and doing good.
