First off  like always I  want to say a  huge  thank you to the publisher  Bookouture, the author Rebecca Griffiths , the ladies of Bookouture Anonymous for all of their hard work   , and to NetGalley for the invite to join this blog tour as well as letting me read and review it. For someone who loves true crime ,I never once heard anything about this case ,and I tend to read , listen and watch a lot of true crime books, true crime shows and podcast. I do have to say that at first I was a bit confused about what was going on but that's on me since at this very moment I'm sick with a head cold but once I re started the book and started to read it as well as listing to it been read by text to speech on my Kindle ,I started to understand what was going on, And while the story is upsetting and emotional as well, all I could think was man these people was sick, and could there be more victims out there that was never found. As for the story it's the author did an amazing job bring both the story and the characters to live which in some cases is hard to do especially when it's based on a true crime ,I tend to find these types of stories hard to believe but this this one showed how far the author went in her research to bring not only the characters to live , and her story but also the victims themselves and the darkness's that was inside the killers. By the end of the book I was glad they got stopped but I was also sad because of what they did to their victims and mad that it took the police that long to catch them.

Connie splashed through puddles, the rain slapping her face. Everywhere was tarmac and concrete, fog and drizzle, but no sign of her child. ‘Have you seen my daughter? Please, you must’ve seen her?’ Connie’s face crumpled, preparing to cry. But there wasn’t time for tears, she told herself, she had to find her child.

Manchester, England, 1965: In an instant Connie’s life has changed. She only left her daughter Kathy alone for a moment but that was enough for her to vanish without a trace. As Connie desperately searches for her, she has to put the news reports of other missing children to the back of her mind. She is determined to find her safe. She will bring her daughter home.

As local farmer Ronald listens to the news, he is shocked by what he hears. He has spent his life away from the spotlight, quietly tending to his farm. But when a young couple begin acting suspiciously on his land, he knows that trouble is about to reach his door.

And then he sees her. A girl in a bright red coat who looks completely lost. Ronald knows he needs to help keep her safe and find her family. But on the wild and desolate farmland, Ronald has buried his own dark secret. Can he risk it coming to light to save her life?
