This mystery/thriller held my interest from the first page to the last page; I felt like I was on a rollercoaster ride. This is the set-up, a 14 year old girl wakes up in the morning, and no one is home, no one is ever going to be home again. The story involves how this is handled and how the mystery is finally solved. There are many unexpected twist and turns that are plausible, I never felt I'd entered the "Twilight Zone", as I might have with a different author telling the tale. This is the first novel I've read by Barclay, it won't be the last.
Different. Disturbing. I would recommend that wives whose husbands frequently travel to read this one with caution... :)
