Book review: What She Knew

Title: What She Knew
Author: Gilly MacMillan
Format: Audiobook
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Summary: Rachel Jenner is walking in a park with her 8-year-old son Ben when he asks to run ahead.  It's an ordinary request on an ordinary Sunday afternoon and Rachel has no reason to worry--until Ben vanishes.

Police are called, search parties are sent out and Rachel, already feeling insecure after her recent divorce, starts to feel herself coming undone.  As hours and then days pass with no sign of Ben, everyone becomes a suspect, from Rachel's perfect sister to her newly married ex-husband.  Public scrutiny on Rachel also begins to shift from sympathy to suspicion.

As Rachel begins her own investigation, Rachel realizes that nothing is quite what she imagined it to be and it's anonymous strangers she should be fearing but those she trusts the most. (Source: Amazon   

Review:  If you're looking for a good beach read as we head into summer, check this one out.  Similar to The Rocks, I listened to this on audiobook but I think this book would be an even better read (than listen).  Plus I'm always partial to characters named Rachel, even if they spell it differently than me.

Time to write: 3:00
