A haunting British psychological thriller about a missing child, a mother's unraveling, and the detective who can't stay away from danger.
Meg Castleton has tried to leave investigations behind her. Since the events that unfolded in Brightmarsh, grief and loss have taken their toll on her marriage, and she is fighting for a quieter life. Then an old college friend calls in the middle of the night: her six-year-old daughter has vanished from her bed without a trace. Meg boards the first train to Wales, telling herself she is only there to support a friend, but the moment she reaches the valley town of Aberbarry, the instincts she has spent years trying to bury will not stay silent. The missing girl is not the only child this place has lost, and whoever is responsible knows these woods better than the police ever will. With her husband at her side and her own past crowding closer with every hour the search continues, Meg is pulled back into the role she swore she had left behind.
The gripping second instalment in the Darkness Finds Her series, for readers of Ann Cleeves and Cara Hunter who like their crime fiction atmospheric, emotional, and impossible to put down.
