Burnt Paper Sky by Gilly MacmillanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Absolutely astounding debut novel. A psychological thriller with all the boxes ticked.
Rachel has been a single mother for almost a year, her husband having remarried. She is giving her son Ben the best childhood that she can. One day during an outing in the park, Ben disappears after Rachel had taken her eyes off him just for a few moments.
The book takes us through the next week and we meet all the people who could possibly have abducted him. With each suspect you are pulled along in the belief that "yes, this is the one".
Ms. Macmillan has devised the means to let us in on the inside thinking and procedures of the police and their investigation. Brilliant!
