London 1968: Liz Houghton is writing obits for a London newspaper but longs to go back to writing news. The disappearance of a little girl, Lucy, has captivated the city and if Liz can break the story, it just may be the way to return to new reporting. Liz's friend and flat mate Marissa is a police officer assigned to the case with senior detective DI Jones.
Liz follows the detectives to Dorset where she makes the discovery of three little girls who disappeared when being evacuated during the war. DI Jones was involved with the cases of the girls...one was found dead, but no trace was ever found of the other two.
No further clue being found in Dorset, the detectives are called back to London. Liz, however, finds herself drawn to the village of Tydeham, requisitioned during the war by the military and the residents forced to leave their village behind with the promise that they could return once the war was over. Why does a place that Liz has never been to before seem strangely familiar to her?

This is the first book by author Rhys Bowen that I have read and I look forward to reading more of her stories. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this story prior to publication.
