"What an amazing, gripping, beautifully written debut. WHAT SHE KNEW kept me up late into the night (and scared the life out of me)."--Liane Moriarty, New York Times bestselling author

"A terrific debut"--Reader's Digest

"A very clever, tautly plotted page turned from a terrific new writer"--Good Housekeeping

"An engaging debut."--Kirkus Reviews

"Macmillan peppers her debut with subtle red herrings and a variety of potential suspects, ratcheting up the tension slowly but oh so deliciously."--Booklist

"Readers will have a tough time putting this one down.--Publishers Weekly

"Gilly Macmillan introduces some smart variations on the [missing child] theme in her debut mystery...Macmillan enlivens the narrative with emails, newspaper headlines, passages from professional journals, even transcripts from Inspector Clemo's sessions with a psychotherapist. But her best move is to include vicious blog posts that go viral."--New York Times Book Review

"This accomplished, intelligent debut should come with a warning--it's completely addictive. A nail-biting, sleep-depriving, brilliant read."--Saskia Sarginson, author of The Twins

"Every parent's nightmare, handled with intelligence and sensitivity, the novel is also deceptively clever. I found myself racing through to find out what happened."--Rosamund Lupton, international bestselling author of Sister

Reseña del editor

“Completely addictive. A nail-biting, sleep-depriving, brilliant read.”

—Saskia Sarginson, author of The Twins

Rachel Jenner is walking in a Bristol park with her eight-year-old son, Ben, when he asks if he can 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 go out, and Rachel, already insecure after her recent divorce, feels herself coming undone. As hours and then days pass without a sign of Ben, everyone who knew him is called into question, from Rachel’s newly married ex-husband to her mother-of-the-year sister. Inevitably, media attention focuses on Rachel too, and the public’s attitude toward her begins to shift from sympathy to suspicion.

As she desperately pieces together the threadbare clues, Rachel realizes that the greatest dangers may lie not in the anonymous strangers of every parent’s nightmares, but behind the familiar smiles of those she trusts the most.

Where is Ben? The clock is ticking...

“Every parent’s nightmare . . . deceptively clever.”

—Rosamund Lupton, author of Sister
