BOOK REVIEW : Have You Seen Her by Lisa Hall

Anna only looked away for one tiny second but that second was all it took for little Laurel to vanish, without a trace.

Now Anna and Laurel's parents Fran and Dominic find themselves trapped in every parents worst nightmare.

As time passes and there is no trace of Laurel, suspicion grows and secrets and lies begin to surface.

Someone knows what happened to Laurel and they are not telling.

This enthralling story is told from the perspective of the nanny Anna. It is obvious that Anna adores young Laurel and is prepared to do everything in her power to uncover what has happened to her. But Anna also has a secret from her past that she is terrified will be uncovered once the police start digging into their lives.

Fran and Dominic were a materialistic,selfish couple who I found very unlikable and struggled to feel any sympathy for despite the nightmare that they were going through.

So many of the vivid,realistic characters were not who they appeared to be,came across as very sinister, untrustworthy and had hidden secrets. I suspected almost all of them as the story unfolded of having something to do with Laurel's disappearance.

Have You Seen Her is a mesmerising,gripping thriller that had me hooked in from very first page. I genuinely didn't want to put this fast paced,page turner down. After drawing you in with a Intreguing prologue,the story then hits the ground running at break neck speed. The reader is hardly given any chance to breath as you are launched from one twist to another until you get to the jaw dropping epilogue. Where you are left breathless and exhausted but very very disappointed that the thrill ride is over. I loved this well written thriller and would love to watch a film adaptation of this book. Worth far more than five stars and will definitely be one of my favourite reads of this year.

Lisa loves words, reading and everything there is to love about books. She has dreamed of being a writer since she was a little girl – either that or a librarian - and after years of talking about it, was finally brave enough to put pen to paper (and let people actually read it). Lisa lives in a small village in Kent, surrounded by her towering TBR pile, a rather large brood of children, dogs, chickens and ponies and her long-suffering husband. She is also rather partial to eating cheese and drinking wine.
