Layla has vanished and Finn's sure she's never coming back. However, ten years later, someone is leaving signs that she has returned. Now, Finn's worried because he's kept the truth about Layla hidden. And just because he's moved on with his life doesn't mean the past isn't catching up with him now. This suspenseful, intense story demonstrates how love can be so strong that it can twist people into things they don't recognize. Psychological suspense at its best!
When Finn and Layla are on holiday and stop for gas, he gets out of the car and comes back to find her gone. He tells the police the truth (well, mostly) and after ten years he's moved on with his life. Actually, he's moved on with Ellen, Layla's sister. While his past is a tiny part of his life, Layla is never too far from his mind. When he comes home from work one day and finds Ellen sitting, turning something over in her fingers that she's found on their doorstep, he knows his past has now come roaring back; this object is something that only he would truly understand the meaning of.
Now, things start unraveling. As the story reveals more details about Finn and his past, you realize that perhaps he's not the man everyone things he is. After all, he has an awful temper. Is that what happened to Layla? And what part may other people around Finn, including Ellen, play in all of this? B.A. Paris keeps you guessing until the very end of the book, which meant I was whip-reading this book, engrossed and turning the pages well into the night. I felt like after I finished the book, I wanted to go back and re-read it and see if I could find hints of things that I had missed the first time through. This is a quality work of psychological suspense, but it's also a statement about obsessive love, which I found pretty interesting.
