About this ebook

‘A gripping, intriguing mystery…an entertaining, thrilling story.’ Nicki’s Life of Crime

 

They told us he had been missing for nearly two days, that he probably drowned. They told us a lie.

 

Megan was ten years old when her older brother, Zac, went missing among the cliffs, caves and beaches that surround the small seaside town of Whitecliff.

 

A decade later and a car crash has claimed the lives of her parents.

 

Megan and her younger sister Chloe return to Whitecliff one summer for the first time since their brother’s disappearance. Megan says it’s to get her parents’ affairs in order. There are boxes to pack, junk to clear, a rundown cottage to sell. But that’s not the real reason.

 

Megan has come to confront her family’s past after receiving a postcard on the day of her parents’ funeral.  It had a photograph of Whitecliff on the front and a single letter on the back.

 

‘Z’ is all it read.

 

Z for Zac.

 

A totally gripping psychological thriller that will have fans of Louise Jensen, The Girl on the Train and Silent Child absolutely hooked.

The two sisters are all that is left of their family. Their older brother went missing 10 years ago and was never found. Their parents died recently in an auto accident. Megan and Chloe return to their summer home for one last visit. They need to get their parents' affairs in order and put the home up for sale. Megan has another reason for being there ... this is where her brother went missing. She wants the truth about her brother ... she received a postcard and on it was only the inital Z. Z for Zac? Megan and Chloe rarely ever lived with their parents. They were shuffled off to separate boarding schools. They had to rely on phone call and text messages to stay in touch. Because her mother constantly preached at Megan about her weight, she is now anorexic ... eating barely enough to stay alive. Chloe, for the most part, is shy and quiet. She's an artist but she has doubts that she's any good. There are the locals and the kids who hang around the beach. And then you have the 'elite' -- the kids that are dropped off for the summer and then leave. It's the kids with the money that keep this little island prosperous. Megan and Chloe are neither. There are definitely strange people on and around the island. Most of the locals seem secretive and not very welcoming. As Megan starts asking questions of anyone that may have known her brother, the more menacing the town becomes. Windows are broken in their summer home. Scrawled messages telling them to Go Home. Money is stolen from a pub and Megan is accused of being a thief. And the closer she gets to the truth ... the more danger she and Chloe face. This is a vey well done psychological thriller. The author has done a terrific job in researching anorexia and the effects on bodies of usually young girls. The characters are sound ... and there are all kinds. The friendly old man who runs an art gallery, the shop owner who is a harridan and takes an instant dislike to Megan, the pub owner and his son and son's wife. They all lend an air of credibility to the story. Many thanks to the author / Bookouture / Netgalley for the advanced digital copy of this psychological thriller. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

A little slow at the beginning, but became gripping not far into the book, to the point where I couldn't put it down. Looking forward to reading more of Kerry's work
