After Anna

Julia Crowne has a busy schedule, which she wants to break away from to pick up her five year old daughter from school.  Unfortunately she is going to be late.  When she arrives at the school, Anna is missing!

The torment of the search is hard on Julia, besides which, she has to deal with an upcoming split with her husband and and overbearing mother-in-law.  Things get worse when the press turn against her, which in turn causes the public to turn on her.

One week on, Anna walks into a news agent’s.  However, Anna has no memory of the time she was gone.  The police assume that she had been drugged.  Everyone wants to know the reasons behind Anna’s abduction.  Then her husband leaves with Anna, saying it is for the best.  Julia knows who’s really behind her husband taking her daughter, and that is his mother.  But, how can she fight the both of them?

Author Alex Lake’s psychological thriller is intense, and hard to put down.  Every parent’s fear is losing a child, and the reader feels Julia’s pain.  This was a great read and I look forward to reading more from this author.
