Your first thought will be -- I don't want to read about graphic child abuse -- actually it isn't about that

Yes, a child was taken and yes abuse was involved, but Denzil doesn't go into graphic detail about any of that

the story actually revolves around the mother, the son comes back and is silent but then the story goes in another direction

you may think you know who the culprit is and about 50 pages from the end of the book you think 'I knew it' BUT keep reading because it takes another twist I didn't see coming

I think Denzil did a very good job writing this story but now I'll note the negatives: I think it is too long and should've been cut down about 50 pages, the 'f' word is used too much in all the wrong places, it made parts of the story seem sleazy by using that word when it just wasn't necessary and gives the characters a bad impression that I don't think Denzil intended, also you have to remember this is a England and some of the phrases and words are spelled different but still the meaning is clear
