Gil’s wife, Ingrid has been missing, presumed drowned, for twelve years.
A possible sighting brings their children, Nan and Flora, home.
Together they begin to confront the mystery of their mother.
Is Ingrid dead? Or did she leave? And do the letters hidden within Gil’s books hold the answer to the truth behind his marriage, a truth hidden from everyone including his own children?‘Thrilling, transporting, delicately realised and held together by a sophisticated sense of suspense…more than matches the power of Fuller’s debut…

I absolutely loved everything about this book: it's well written in a nice, easy flowing style, it's an intriguing story that kept me turning the pages, and I loved all the characters. Well, that's not strictly true because I felt angry at Gil most of the time I was reading and thought he was an obnoxious man, but he's still a great character. I felt desperately sad for Ingrid and quite sorry for Nan and Flora but fact is I cared about them and what happened to them. It's a good one for a reading group as there's lots of potential for discussion. A great book, highly recommended.
