Summary

Close your eyes…and count to ten.

He doesn’t know his name. He doesn’t know his secret.

When Daniel woke up from a coma, he had no recollection of the life he lived before, the person he once was. Now, fourteen years later, he’s being forced to remember.

A phone call in the middle of the night demands he return what he stole back when he was young – but Daniel has no idea what it could be, or who the person on the end of the line is.

But one thing is terrifyingly clear: if he doesn’t find out what he took and return it before the week ends, his family will be murdered.

Rachael doesn’t know why she and Thomas, her six-year-old son, have been taken. But she knows she needs to protect him. To save his innocence, she tells Thomas they are involved in a story, one that will have a happy ending – as long as he can close his eyes when she tells him to.

Will Daniel discover what he cannot remember and save his family? Or will Rachael have to take drastic action to save their son?

Perfect for fans of Holly Seddon, Gillian Flynn and BA Paris.

From the best-selling author of Our Little Secret comes a new psychological thriller with a shocking twist.

I gave up!

Unfortunately I decided to return this book before finishing, whilst the story may have developed I couldn’t ‘connect’ with the author’s own narration-perhaps he should have trusted his work to an actor? It’s such a shame as I really wanted to enjoy the book, but as the novel progressed allI could focus on was his narration.

Boring

Found it very predictable including the "twist" which was very obvious from the beginning.
