David Burroughs was once a devoted father to his three-year-old son Matthew, living a dream life just a short drive away from the working-class suburb where he and his wife, Cheryl, first fell in love—until one fateful night when David woke to discover Matthew had been murdered while David was asleep just down the hall. Half a decade later, David’s been wrongly accused and convicted of the murder, left to serve out his time in a maximum-security prison—a fate which, grieving and wracked with guilt, David didn’t have the will to fight. The world has moved on without him. Then Cheryl’s younger sister, Rachel, makes a surprise appearance during visiting hours bearing a strange photograph . . . in the background, just barely in frame, is a boy bearing an eerie resemblance to David’s son. David just knows: Matthew is still alive.
Hard to believe it was 400 pages because it was so fast-paced that it felt really short. David was a great narrator– a rough-around-the-edges father who is desperate to discover the truth about what happened to his son. The fact that the FBI agents are always breathing down his neck kept the tension high and the thrills coming. Fans of this genre are well aware that enjoying these books requires suspension of disbelief. As long as you don’t overthink it and don’t mind the over the top moments, you will enjoy the ride!
I rated this novel four stars. Oh sure, there’s a few things I could complain about– the premise sitting on a MASSIVE coincidence, a flimsy excuse for going rogue instead of contacting an attorney, yada yada… but who cares?! This is a cracktastic unputdownable game of cat-and-mouse.
