Summary

Sunday Times Crime Book Club Pick.

Mail on Sunday Thriller of the Week.

Sixty-two days after the disappearance...

A man is arrested in the small town of Avechot. His shirt is covered in blood. Could this have anything to do with a missing girl called Anna Lou?

What really happened to the girl?

Detective Vogel will do anything to solve the mystery surrounding Anna Lou's disappearance. When a media storm hits the quiet town, Vogel is sure that the suspect will be flushed out. Yet the clues are confusing, perhaps false, and following them may be a far cry from discovering the truth at the heart of a dark town.

For fans of Donna Leon and Michele Giuttari, get ready for the crime thriller of the year!

Reviews

"Compelling, beautifully constructed and atmospheric." (Daily Mail)

"Carrisi is an expert at misdirection...this is a thoroughly disconcerting, addictive thriller guaranteed to freeze your soul." (Metro)

I really loved the audio book until right shortly before the end. The reader John Telfer is just great and can swap between voices / characters so easily. Donato Carrisi wove a story which sprang backwards and forwards between the days around the time of Christmas and New Year and increased my curiosity from minute to minute. I could hardly put the book down. The story held several surprises which were well prepared for but which the reader wouldn`t have guessed.
But then, for me the last two pages or so spoilt my pleasure of reading. I won`t tell you the end, but I like books where there is at least one good person and where justice is done. The final twist is so weird and unnecessary. Just overkill in my eyes.
So unfortunately I won`t read another book of Donato Carrisi because I fear they all end in a twist that I couldn`t understand and wouldn`t like. It is like eating a sweat with a bitter core. You have to spit it out. You don`t want any more.

Disappointed with the end
