Thoroughly enjoyable read! Twelve years ago, Thomas and Emily were five and three years old. Today, they look exactly the same - they haven't changed at all. How is this possible? Beth knows it isn't - yet she also knows what she saw. And having seen it, how can she forget? So Beth embarks on a mission to find out the truth of what is going on with her ex-best friend and her children. This book does keep you guessing and I really liked the female dynamics, especially the relationship between Beth and her daughter, Zannah. Beth can be a little irritating at times when she fires questions at people without giving a chance for them to reply but a minor niggle really. She is a likeable character and you do root for her throughout. The ending was a little disappointing. After the story reached such a dramatic conclusion, the epilogue felt a little weak. The book could have carried a much better fleshed out ending which I personally would have enjoyed reading. For a good, fast paced mystery, I would recommend it

This is not a bad story. Sophie Hannah has either a hit or a miss, IMO, and with this book, she was somewhere in the middle.

The more I've thought about it, the more this has bugged me about this book.... {Spoiler}How likely is it really that you could mistake two children for being the same children you knew years ago? Kinda weakend the plot and yet that's the basis of the plot!! I still enjoyed the read though haha.

I agree. {Spoiler}I would most likely not recognise anyone I haven't seen in years. Heck, I don't recognise people that I usually see in the shop, and suddenly meet in the street.
