I think this is one of the twistiest plots yet in this very enjoyable series. Our favourite characters, Detectives Josie Quinn and Noah Farley are finally married and have been able to find time away for a honeymoon. Unfortunately, their restful break away from work is about to come to an abrupt end. On their way home from the airport, driving in thick fog, they see a teenage girl run across the road in front of their car. Stopping to see what she was running from they find a second teenage girl being attacked by a middle-aged man before he too runs away, leaving the contents of the girls bags strewn across the ground, suggesting he was looking for something.
It seems a lot of people are looking for the something that is missing, even though most of them have no idea what ‘it’ is or who it belongs too. Josie and Noah have a hard time trying to work out what is going on and how it all connects to the two teenage girls, who were best friends on their way to work at a hotel when they stopped because of the fog. Throughout the novel, we also hear the voice of another girl called ‘Pea’ whose father seems to be a villain of some sort but it’s not clear who she is or how she fits in to the plot until very near the end when everything falls terrifyingly into place. I thought the plot was very well done, gripping and intriguing without giving away too much until the climax, making for a very wild ride indeed.
