B.A. Paris has hit a home-run again! I read her first two novels, Behind Closed Doors and The Breakdown, and enjoyed them very much. This one kept me guessing until the very end.
Layla and Finn are driving back to England from a ski trip in France. They pull into a rest stop and when Finn returns to the car after using the restroom, he finds the car door is wide open but Layla is missing.
Ten years later, Layla is presumed dead and Finn is about to marry Layla's sister, Ellen. Suddenly tiny dolls from a set of Russian stack dolls start appearing. Only Layla, Ellen and Finn are aware of the significance of these dolls. Finn starts receiving emails from Layla which leads him to believe that Layla is not dead. Has Layla somehow come back to him after all this time? Or is the person who took her playing games with his mind?
The story keeps switching bank and forth from 2006 when Finn first met Layla to the present 2018 and is told in the first person point of view by the main characters; Finn, Layla and Ellen. I was hooked from the very beginning and found the book hard to put down as I needed to know what was going to happen next. After many twists and turns, I found the ending to be cleverly crafted and a total surprise to me. I am now looking forward to Paris' next book and I would highly recommend this book to those who love psychological thrillers. I also would like to thank the publisher and Netgalley for a copy of the book for my honest review.
