Let's see if I can write this review without mentioning "Gone Girl..........."

After 5 year old Jacob is killed in a hit and run accident, Jenna Gray moves to Wales in an attempt to hide from her grief and start a new life. Meanwhile, Detective Inspector Ray Stevens can't quite give up the investigation into who drove the car that killed Jacob, despite the long hours his supervisory position requires and troubles at home with his wife and son.

After reading excellent reviews of this book, I was thinking about giving up on it. For the first half nothing much of interests happens, especially nothing that would warrant calling this book a thriller. However, in Part Two everything does a one-eighty. The latter half the book is very difficult to put down. The plot twists are excellent, and the suspense and tension is almost unbearable.
