A thrilling tale set in an atmospherically and realistically described out-of-season seaside town, when Sophie's historic disappearance and presumed death is brought into the present with the discovery of a foot in a trainer matching that she had been wearing when last seen. Her school friend, Francesca, is asked back to the town by Sophie's brother Daniel, to try to find out just what happened. Secrets are uncovered and it is hard to know who can be trusted. The results are surprising and shocking and make a very enjoyable, chilling story.
Oldcliffe-on-Sea is a fictional town on the Somerset coast, but to anyone living in the area, it will be immediately identifiable and that added to my pleasure, but this book does not rely on local knowledge to work well.
