Holly Gebgardt was kidnapped when she was 4 years old, but luckily
she was been sent back home by the kidnapper after 3 months. Her parents were
shocked to see her return unharmed, as they left all hopes of getting little
holly back. But unfortunately Holly couldn’t remember a thing about her kidnap.Her best friend Kitty did recognize a man while Holly got
kidnap, and the person was immediately jailed .But things get complicated when
series of Kidnaps of little girls starts off again even though the person is in
jail and almost many family lost their little girls. (Found dead in bridal
dress)After almost twenty years the case reopens and the detective
who is in charge starts questioning Holly as she was the only child who
returned. Holly herself couldn’t come out of the trauma and her suspicions
falls on many people which includes her mom.
Her mom got into a severe accident and went to coma, and
therefore things gets more complicated but yes she knows some kind of a secret which makes the reader more curious.
“Phew” - What a twisty ride. Everyone is under suspect till the end of the story.
The story is narrated from Holly and her mother’s (Cecily)
point of view , and the suspense was really good.
At times it became little slow especially Holly’s best friend
kitten’s part, but I enjoyed her mother’s narration. Though Cecily was not much
reliable because she is an alcoholic and her mind is always in mess. The past
and the present narration made the plot more suspenseful by both the character
.Just when you will think you know who the kidnapper is and what was the motive
behind, you will get a bend in the road and again you will be left dangling.
