About this deal

Andrea Mara's tight plotting and convincing characterisation make her books both compelling and intriguing. The game of hide and seek is over, everyone has gone home, but little Lily Murphy hasn't been found. Everyone claims to know their neighbours, but the truth is buried somewhere among the rumours and suspicion. As it was an evening flight I had a little doze and had a dream involving ALL of the characters in the book!

Hence why despite recieving my advanced reading copy at 9am after an 11 hour night shift, I sat in bed and got through about 50% of the book in one sitting. Andrea has this uncanny ability to create a layer of tension that imposes itself on the reader from the very first page and it does not relent until you get to that relief inducing last chapter. Lily was never found and has always been presumed drowned in the local river after disappearing whilst out playing.

Joanna Stedman, her husband Mark and their three children, Emily, Ben and Sophie move into what they hope is their forever home in the suburbs of Dublin. Mara’s ability to hit you with one revelation after another ensures that you will not want to put this book down.

Set in a leafy suburb in Dublin, Lily Murphy disappears in 1985 while playing the age-old favourite children’s game of hide and seek. It’s a sublime read from beginning to end full of tension, suspense, unease and endless twists and turns and revelations right until the very last page. There were also too many characters to keep track of and so they were not as well developed as I would have liked.AND WHEN YOU OPEN THEM, YOUR CHILD IS GONEAs Joanna unravels the secrets at the heart of this close-knit community, her own dark past begins to resurface.

Andrea Mara is a Sunday Times and Irish Times top ten bestselling author, and has been shortlisted for a number of awards, including Irish Crime Novel of the Year. As Joanna delves further into the child’s disappearance, revelations and secrets emerge - including Joanna’s own.

The story revolves around a young girl, Lily, who went missing when she was only 3 and was never found.
