    When I read the synopsis of this book I wasn’t sure I could read about a missing child but the reviews were so good I gave it a try. Such a well written book I am looking forward to reading more by this author. I couldn’t put it down until I finished. Very clever…every little clue is there. Just look for them!

    There's are times when I found it a bit tedious and too descriptive with some repetition; however, overall it was very well written , especially with reader frustration having been created in that Kate couldn't get anyone to believe her. This author was good at invoking that emotion. The other aspect was guessing whodunnit. I had the wrong guy. There was also the element of fear and suspense. If you like mysteries that aren't gory, this is for you.

    This started a little slowly. I almost set it aside, as I didn’t want to read another of those disappointing books that come so highly recommended.
    What a wonderful surprise! I was unable to put this book down. Thoroughly engrossing, and with a surprising ending.

    Would have been much better if the entire first half of the book had been reduced to one chapter. Absolutely nothing happened! I almost stopped reading, but I’m glad I stuck with it as the second half was much better.

    This book is a page turner from beginning to end. Toward the middle it’s fairly obvious what’s going on and who the guilty could be but it still leaves you guessing until the end which is surprising and great!

    Surreal & heartbreaking to think this could happen to anyone. At first I couldn’t understand Kate’s grief & how she wouldn’t (or couldn’t?) move on. But then she just kept digging & digging & I finally got it. Don’t underestimate what a mother would do for her child.

    5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books I've read this year so far!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 8, 2018

    WOW! and yet another WOW! I finished Where The Missing Go about 2 hours ago and I’m still saying……WOW! I was so blown away by this fictional debut by Emma Rowley that I went straight onto Amazon after I had read it to see if she had written another book yet! Which was probably a bit too enthusiastically optimistic as this one isn’t even out yet! If you enjoy psychological thrillers by writers such as Jenny Blackhurst and Clare Mackintosh then you are going to love this book. And if you’re a regular reader of my reviews then you’ll know that I have a particular passion for a certain type of twisty thriller and this one is 100% what I look for in my psychological thrillers. If you like similar books to me then I guarantee you will love this one too.

    I actually started this in the very early hours one morning when I couldn’t sleep and very quickly became gripped by the storyline of a mother in pieces following the disappearance of her teenage daughter, Sophie. And by the time I had to get up, I was so addicted that I couldn’t wait to get back to bed that night to finish this fascinating storyline. I had immediately felt Kate’s devastation at the loss of her only child, refusing to give up hope, her entire life revolving around looking for clues to Sophies whereabouts. Everyone says she should move on with her life, others close to Sophie have, and accept that Sophie has gone away and doesn’t want to be found. But Kate isn’t giving up and when she takes a call at the missing person hotline she volunteers at, her worst fears seem to be realised.

    Everything about this book worked for me! I loved the Cheshire setting which felt authentic with its slower pace of life compared to its biggest neighbour Manchester and also to London which was where the family had been living previously. And Cheshire born Kate was an immensely relatable character, one struggling with her own personal demons, but her maternal instincts that something wasn’t quite right about her daughters disappearance overtook those worries to show the raw emotion of a mother’s love for her child. I thought she was just so wonderfully brave, determined never to give up hope of finding Sophie even though it meant pulling away from every other relationship in her life. But most of all I loved all the red herrings floating around the periphery, never quite in the line of sight but throwing suspicious glances throughout the narrative. This book is twistier than my curls after I’ve been caught in a rainstorm and every twist was a jaw dropping, flick the pages back, “what the **** just happened there?” moment for me! Just how I like them!

    Emma Rowley is a name everyone should remember as I think she is going to be HUGE! I pre-ordered my own copy of Where The Missing Go as soon as I finished it and on the strength of this debut, I would also preorder her next book without even reading the blurb-that’s how much I want to read more from this very talented writer. This is a very clever, breathtakingly brilliant read that you won’t be able to put down. Highly recommended by me!

    Fantastisch, das Buch ist fesselnd, großartig geschrieben, selten so ein spannendes Buch gelesen.

    Zeker een echte aanrader voor alle lezers, die een spannende thriller zoeken. Heb nu twee boeken van haar gelezen, je kunt het bijna niet wegleggen, voordat je het boek uit hebt.

    Absolut great! You hardly can put it apart, before ending the story.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I really like this book I highly recommend it
    Reviewed in France on July 29, 2018

    I was immediately attracted by the cover on the site amazon.fr and the sentence me to be called: "they said my daughter ran away, I believed them until now "

    We find Kate volunteering in an organization that helps teens who have fled their family home and ask for reassurance. Until the day Kate receives a funny call from a certain Sophie to ask her to reassure her parents, to tell them that she is well and that she is safe except that it is not at all the truth that she tells on the phone and especially that it turns out that it is the girl of Kate disappeared since quite some time. She will do everything to find her.

    A psychological thriller that I read almost in one go, the scenario is well put together, the story addictive, captivating and moving. I love the pen of Emma Rowley too eager to read: "Tell me everything" This book deserves to be translated into French to have a maximum of readers.
