This novel kept me guessing. It takes place in the Falkland Islands in the early 1990's. The three main characters are Catrin, Rachel and Callum. Catrin and Rachel were friends from childhood - but that all ended when Catrin's two children were with Rachel and she left them alone in the car for a few minutes. The car ended up going over a cliff. Since that time Catrin has been a completely different person. She manages to continue her work with marine wildlife but that is it. Although she still sees Callum they are no longer lovers. She has turned into someone he doesn't recognize. Her husband gave up on her and went on to rebuild his life with someone else. She lives with her little dog and fills her days with anger and hatred toward Rachel. In a few days it will be the third anniversary of her sons' death. And Catrin has something big planned for that day. Her plans get interrupted by the news that another little boy is missing. He is the third one to go missing in the past two years.
The beginning of the novel is told in Catrin's voice but later on we hear the story from Rachel and Callum. It certainly kept me interested
