Twenty years ago someone stole my sister.
They say Leonie got into a man’s car. She was never seen again. It was the day before her fifteenth birthday.
But what if she was never taken? What if the truth is right here, all along, in the house where we grew up. The house I’ve come back to, trying to piece the past together.
A notification flashes on my phone. Photos on social media. I stare, chilled, at old pictures of my childhood home. Our front door, the gardens outside the window where I sit now. They’re tagged: #leonieshouse.
A shiver of unease runs down my spine.
Who knows?
What do they know?
I keep saying that I don’t remember.
But I do.
My Thoughts
The protagonist of the story goes back to the house she grew up in with the intention of reawakening the happy childhood she had with her sister before the latter’s disappearance. Though her initial intention is to write a book, she finds herself getting involved with her sister’s former classmates, and more secrets are revealed.
I found it very hard to set this book down. I loved it! The writing style was great, and the tension was building up constantly. This is my first read from this author. Let me tell you that I will be looking for her future books. It is a great read, and I would advise anyone who likes a good thriller to read it.
Thank you to Jofee Books and Zoé from ZooLoo’s Book Tours for allowing me to read and review this book.
