I liked how the author drew the reader in from the beginning. This was a quick read. I felt bogged down in descriptions that didn’t add to story.

An older read, as part of the Book Club Girls Free Fridays

MacMillan writes a strong thriller, what could have happened to Ben in the seconds between him asking his mother to run ahead and arriving at the playground?

Told in the two perspectives of the boy's mother and the investigator, the story grips you from beginning to end.

What She Knew is a psychological thriller that will keeps you on the edge of your seat. I really enjoyed this book, all the characters were very well written and the author kept me guessing till the end. I would recommend this book to anybody that likes a good mystery.

I read this from #NetGalley - my first read from there. So, it was on my Kindle reader which is never my preferred - I still like real books. But, to the writing: it was very good - Macmillan took to along many paths to where you weren't sure what was going to happen or who was to blame. I'm not sure there's a Jim Clemo #2? Jim wasn't even my favorite part of the book, though. Overall, it was a very enjoyable read.

This thriller was exciting and fun to read. I devoured it as I couldn’t put it down. 8 year old Ben goes missing when he runs ahead while on a walk with his mother. The story is what happens next as police investigate and search for him. The story is told through the perspectives of ben’s mother, Rachel, and the lead investigator. Sprinkled in are clippings from articles about abduction and social media posts about ben’s disappearance. The characters are realistic and there are twists and turns. A great story, I highly recommend!
