From bestselling author Natalie Barelli comes a dark psychological thriller about a cold case, the newspaper investigating it, and the woman for whom it all hits a little too close to home…
Synopsis:
Millions are searching for the truth. Only she knows it's all a lie.
Rachel Holloway has built a quiet life in London. She has a daughter, a partner, and a steady job at the local paper. Then the paper launches a true-crime podcast, and their first case is the disappearance of twelve-year-old Molly Forster, missing since her family's brutal murder twelve years ago.
But Rachel knows exactly what happened to Molly. Because Rachel is Molly. She's spent years hiding from the killer who destroyed her family, and now her own podcast is about to expose her and the truth she's buried.
As the story goes viral, new evidence emerges that confirms what Rachel has known all along: The wrong man was convicted.
The real killer is still free.
And he's coming for Rachel.
Review:
This book looks at missing people from a different perspective. What if they ran away from a horrible scene, not because they were the guilty party, but because the suspect knows who they are and is after them, but they figured out how to hide in plain sight? With this unique twist the author does a great job and learning the reader in to Molly's predicament. She doesn't want the podcast to happen as she doesn't want to be accidentally exposed. But she also can't help wanting to be involved so that she can direct the podcast away from her. But when her two lives start intersecting and she realizes it may be time to run, it may be too late, as the killer may already be back in her life. While I figured out who the suspect was pretty quickly to be honest, it was more a read to see how Molly would handle letting others know who she was, and how the truth would actually come out. The last fourth is a roller coaster read so be prepared to read it in one sitting. This is another book that I can easily see is becoming a series on Netflix or Acorn.
About the Author:
Natalie Barelli can usually be found reading a book, and that book will more likely than not be a psychological thriller. When not absorbed in the latest gripping page-turner, she loves cooking, enjoys riding her Vespa around town, and otherwise spends far too much time at the computer. She lives in Australia with her family. For more information, visit nataliebarelli.com.
