Thanks netgalley for my early review Copy.

From the first page to the end I was gripped.

The two main characters are well written so much so u become them.

This was a wee bit confusing. I was hooked from the beginning but it was too slow to unravel more details. Good writing but I actually did skim towards the end to see what happened. Meh.

Very much a middle of the road read for me. It was fairly obvious what was going on from quite early in the story and unfortunately I simply couldn’t work up much anticipation. Francis was a nice enough character but the whole thing just seemed a bit predictable.

My New Favourite Book!

Thank you to NetGalley, HQ and R.M Ward for this ARC.

I have read a few books lately that haven't quite hit the mark, but this book had me hooked from the beginning! I was instantly in love with the main character and was cheering her on throughout.

A couple of the characters really irked me, but I think that this was the point. I couldn't wait to see if my suspicions were true and I was pretty spot on, but this didn't take away from the story at all.

I would recommend this book to anyone, it was quite fast-paced and twisty. I loved it!

Thank you NetGalley and HQ Digital, for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is not the best narrative I have read, but it kept me entertained. Recommended.

Thanks net galley for letting me read this book, it was ok I found it rather slow it gathered pace in the last quarter of the book.
Frances thinks she is loosing her mind, her mother has dementia and Frances fears she too has it.
Frances has one daughter Naomi who is pregnant, and her husband but they are separated.
She keeps doing silly things leaving heating on, Bath tap running and sending telephone calls to her husband.
Until one day she sees a little girl being kidnapped and the little girl needed help.
Frances then was determined to find out about this child, which helped her finding out about her own life.

A very fast paced read, it started really well and was quite intriguing. It slowed down to wards the middle and turned more character driven domestic than a thriller read, however it did pick up again towards the end and back into the thriller category.
There was one twist that came as a surprise but the main one seemed quite obvious to me from quite early on. The characters were interesting and you really did root for Frances.
Overall an easy read with some good writing.
Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC.

What a roller coaster! I really liked the book because of its unique premises. It kept me glued in my seat for the first part. As the book went along the intensity was not as strong but I still did not see the twist(s) and could not see how it will end.

The end is not as strong but overall, it is a good mystery. I would definitely read this author again.

Thank you to Netgalley for a free copy in exchange of my honest review.

Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for this review copy.

I live thrillers and this was no exception

This was a good thriller one that kept me guessing. However it wasn’t unique or the most memorable I’ve read before

Frances receives a phone call every mother dreads, her daughter has been in a life threatening accident.
As she races to the hospital, Frances catches a glimpse of a child in another car, the girl is screaming for help.
Should she follow the car and risk delay or do nothing and live with the fact she didn’t help the child.
A compelling read, with lots of clues throughout.
Jaw dropping twists kept you hooked right till the end.
Thanks @rachelwardbooks @HQStories & @netgalley for the eARC

Thank you to #NetGalley and HQDigital for the copy of #TheGirlWhoVanished by #RMWard
Frances keeps reliving the telephone call telling her Naomi her beloved daughter had been in an accident.
Frightened that she is following on her mothers footsteps with Huntingdon’s Disease, she battles on as best as possible.
But then she sees something, and her life spirals out of control. Although one of the plot twists was telegraphed early on others weren’t.
A very good compelling read. I will definitely be reading this authors next book.

I couldn’t put this down.
A well paced thriller which keeps you desperate to keep turning the pages. Lots of twists and turns which keep you thinking that you’ve figured things out and it then goes off in another direction.

A great read!

Absolutely loved this book.
Nice short chapters. I found it hard to put this down.
An amazing mystery with lots of action and surprising twists. Told from different points of view but you will start doubting yourself about what is real and what isn't.
My first read by this author but definitely won't be the last.

The Girl Who Vanished is a cracking read. As the reader, you going in to it with certain expectations (from reading the blurb), but boy, you are not prepared for what's going to happen.

Frances faces a moral dilemma, when she received a phone call to say that her daughter has been in an accident. As she races to be with her, she sees a girl in a car asking for help. Should Frances stop? Will she forgive herself if something happens to the girl?

Its not as straightforward as that though, as you twist and turn through the narrative, told from the perspectives of Frances, her daughter and the girl.

I devoured this book, it was utterly brilliant and I can't stop recommending it!

Although I guessed the ending quite early on in the book, there was another twist which I didn't guess. Despite me knowing the direction of the plot, it didn't take anything away from the overall enjoyment of the book. I was drawn in and my attention was kept throughout. I would recommend this for anyone who wants a quick and easy read with an enjoyable plot.

I was totally hooked by the 'blurb' for this book - Frances receives the call any mother would dread, her daughter is in the hospital. Racing to get to her she catches sight of a child in another car – a girl screaming for help. Haunted by the sight and her failure to respond when she can, she is determined to look into the girl's situation herself.
I am very grateful to NetGalley for giving me an opportunity to read an ARC of this ebook - a perfect bank holiday read - short, fast-paced, engaging. The only thing for me was that there were aspects as the book proceeded that I did just find a bit too obvious and I was quite disappointed that I was actually quite easily able to predict the outcome. Certainly not a challenging book, but I'd recommend it for anyone wanting an easy thriller to read while lounging in the sun.

The Girl Who Vanished is an afternoon quick read. Frances Brookman is on her way to the hospital after a phone call letting her know that her daughter has been in an accident. As she races to the hospital, Frances sees a child asking for help. Now she must choose to follow the child or go to her daughter in the hospital.

Frances is convinced she witnessed a kidnapping, but no one believes her. Frances gets more confused and is panicking as strange things keep happening. Is Frances losing her mind or is there something else going on that she can't quite grasp.

This is twisted story that will keep the reader guessing. The story didn't grab me as I had expected. Still, it is an interesting read.

I thought this was different to other books I have read, and it kept me guessing, which I liked. The pace was pretty good, and I thought it was well worth a read.

Hold into your hats and buckle up for this psychological thriller. It's dramatic and terrifying at the same time.
Frances feels like she's losing her mind. She got a phone call which is every parents nightmare - her daughter Naomi has been involved in an accident and is in hospital- off she rushes to get to her! Whilst on the motorway she sees a little girl in the back of a black 4x4 mouthing the words "help me" but she needs to get to Naomi and she looses sight of the car anyway, what can she do? Without giving too much of the plot or spoilers away Frances seems to be suffering from PTSD and is reliving/ hallucinating events which have already happened! The ending was quite unexpected. I loved this book and will be recommending to friends and family. Would love to see it made into a film!

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publishers and RM Ward (will be eagerly awaiting more from you) love this type of thriller especially when you can't guess the ending and are shocked by what you've just read. Just want to go back to the beginning to read all over again! If I could give more than 5* I would.
