Another brilliant book from this author who I have followed since his first book. Full of twists and turns, secrets and dishonesty from the families involved.

The storytelling was extremely well written and everything brought together for a satisfactory conclusion.

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for this great ARC which I have no hesitation in recommending.

Secrets can cause so much chaos. A missing sister…who has her? Where is she? Can revealing the secret harm her or protect her? Unanswered questions in this thought provoking novel by a talented author…this is a page turner. Realistic characters keep the story moving quickly. Thanks Netgalley.

I just finished The Cry and it did not disappoint! What a thrilling book that kept me turning the pages until the end!

When you have been best friends for many years with someone, it's no wonder you share everything and you can read each other like a book. You can try to hide your emotions during a phone call or a video call, but as soon as you are face to face, there is no point denying it.

Paige and Jenna are two such great friends and that's why Paige is determined to dig deep enough to find out what is going on. It seems like she is the only one who thinks it's all rather odd...

I like this kind of set up : a few families living on the same street, interacting with each other. They often have a great life on the outside, but behind closed doors it seemed like there is more than one secret being hidden. Of course, they will all surface in the end. 

I love it when it's all being kept vague until the end. It makes you suspect everyone and not being able to pick one name. In the end I decided on who to put my money on and I am so happy I did not place a real bet, because I would have lost my money. :)

A thrilling read, with lots of secrets and thus lots of possible culprits. It also a story that proves that real friendship never dies.

I had a very good time devouring this excellent book. 5 stars

Thank you

A cleverly written book which i read in two sittings.
The suspects keep on coming the further you read and i was a good way through until the penny dropped.
Also none of these neighbours are perfect, they all have there issue's. Just like real life!
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

Jenna has been on a gap year to Australia, after a harrowing experience at University. Her parents have a neighbourhood party, and Jenna's best friend, Paige does not attend.
During the party, there is a frightened cry outside the house, but when investigated, there is no one there. Jenna has a gut feeling that it was Paige who screamed. Then Paige disappears. Jenna is the only one that feels that Paige is in danger.

This is a gripping novel, with many suspects in Paige's disappearance, twists and turns galore. It was only very late in the novel where I suddenly twigged who took Paige.
Excellent and well crafted psychological thriller.

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the digital copy
