About the book
Someone stole a baby...
One sunny day in July, someone took three-month-old Alicia Owen from her pram outside a supermarket. Her mother, Marie, was inside. No one saw who took Alicia. And no one could find her.
They silenced her cry...
Fifteen years later, a teenager on a construction site sees a tiny hand in the ground. When the police investigate, they find a baby buried and preserved in concrete. Could it be Alicia?
But the truth will always out.
When Alicia disappeared, the papers accused Marie of detachment and neglect. The Owens never got over the grief of their child's disappearance and divorced not long after. By reopening the case, DC Beth Chamberlain must reopen old wounds. But the killer may be closer than anyone ever suspected...
My Review:
This is the third book in the DC Beth Chamberlain series, although I have read the second (and really enjoyed it) I would definitely say it isn’t necessary to have read the other two novels, it’s works perfectly as a standalone,
I found this one really tackled a difficult, emotive topic and the content may be a bit much for some; child abduction is a hard enough read but the discovery of a potentially murdered baby encased in cement is tough to tackle. Jane Isaacs does it well and the whole story is dealt with sensitively whilst being dramatic, emotional, heart-breaking and keeping readers hooked.
As I was reading, I found myself getting drawn into the story very quickly. It is full of dramatic twists and turns, a lot of surprises and revelations. I enjoyed how although DC Chamberlain is working to support the victims families she herself is involved in a family trauma that costs her dearly.
A book full of secrets, lies and deceptions, you will be guessing all the way through.
Highly recommended for fans of fast paced, thrilling crime dramas.
