All the heart you've come to love in a Rimmy London novel, with twice the chills.

A young mother vanishes at midday. A case, seemingly solved. But the story is far from over...

In a small Vermont town, the mother of two young children vanishes at midday. As the frantic investigation begins, it isn't long before the woman's jaded past hits the media. With a history of disappearing for romantic escapades over a weekend here and a holiday there, it seems the young mother was only interested in freedom from responsibility.
The search fades away.
Emma Brock, a recent college graduate, agrees reluctantly to help out a former boss. She's to fill in for a nanny who died suddenly in a car accident. There's hardly time to pass along the strange list of requests when she arrives at the home only to find a debonair but distraught father, a media frenzy, and two young children missing their mother.
The children cling to her and the father begs her to stay on, if only for a day or two. With a rush of compassion for the little hands gripping hers tightly, Emma agrees. She has a chemist's job waiting for her, but it doesn't start for another few weeks.

But as the weeks roll by, her new job falls through, and someone begins leaving her strangely cryptic messages. One by one, the messages have her questioning everything she thought she knew.
