Single mum Ellie is shown a missing person post on Facebook. It’s of her three-year-old son, Tyler… But he’s right there, holding her hand. Surely this is some kind of prank – she knows her friend Louise can go too far with her jokes sometimes. And Ellie is used to the other mums gossiping at the school gates… But now the other parents are questioning whether Tyler is really her child. Ellie does everything she can to prove the post is fake, but the longer it goes on she knows it is malicious. Who would do this to her? And why? It could be her ex, Darren, but deep down she knows it must be linked to what happened all those years ago – the night she’s been doing her best to forget… All she knows is that she has to keep her son safe – no matter what. - 'I loved it, couldn't put it down and read it in two sittings...' Rebecca De Winter, author of Best Friends ‘Ruby Speechley takes the essential elements of a thriller - suspense, action and a touch of darkness - and deftly mixes them into an immensely readable story... Fast-paced and engrossing, Missing is a great page-turner.’ Sarah Edghill, author of The Bad Wife ‘I thoroughly enjoyed this gripping and twisty page-turner’ Caroline England, author of The Stranger Beside Me ‘The very epitome of page-turner with a chilling storyline that grips from the first and kept me guessing right up to the heart-racing denouement.’ A. A. Chaudhuri, author of The Final Party 'A dark and disturbing thriller that had me desperate to read just one more chapter. A cast of shady characters, a secret Ellie doesn't want to expose, and an unseen threat to her son all make for a twisted thriller that I thoroughly enjoyed.' M A Hunter, author of Adrift 'I raced through this pacy thriller in two days and it was a wild ride. I had no idea where the author was taking me, but I knew I wanted to follow her there.' Laura Pearson, author of The Last List of Mabel Beaumont 'The reader will keep the pages turning until the very end for the answers to this addictive psychological suspense where absolutely no one can be trusted. Each reveal is more shocking than the last...' Louise Mangos, author of Strangers on a Bridge 'Such a tense, assured & compelling thriller. Gripped from the first page, I was holding my breath and rooting for poor Ellie as I raced to the end... highly recommended!' Jane Isaac, author of In the Shadows
