The Cry

We thought it was nothing. Now she's missing...

 

I look at our neighbours gathered in the garden for our annual summer barbecue, sipping chilled wine and smiling at my two daughters sprawled on the grass. I go inside to help refill glasses and then I hear it. A shrill scream that stops me in my tracks. 

 

I race outdoors to silence, a sea of bewildered faces. My first thought is for my girls, but they are there unhurt. With relief, we push the chilling sound to the back of our minds, returning to our drinks and conversations like it never happened. 

 

But it's a terrible mistake. The next morning, we wake to the news that Jenna, my younger sister, who often babysits my daughters, is missing. A frantic search begins, and when Jenna's slender gold necklace is discovered in the bedroom of our strange neighbour, suspicion falls on him.

 

But he denies knowing where Jenna is and there are little details that are keeping me awake at night. One of my daughters has a secret about Jenna that I know I should share with the police. But I don't want anyone to look too closely at our family. Because then our secrets will come to the surface. And I'll do anything to prevent that... 

 

A completely unputdownable page-turner that will have you utterly hooked. Fans of Lisa Jewell, K.L. Slater and Freida McFadden will be gripped by The Cry.
