Review of The Girl Who Came Back by Kerry Wilkinson

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. These are my thoughts and opinions. I was not compensated for this review.

Thirteen years ago Olivia Adams went missing. Now she’s back… or is she?

When six-year-old Olivia Adams disappeared from her back garden, the small community of Stoneridge was thrown into turmoil.  How could a child vanish in the middle of a cozy English village?

Thirteen years on and Olivia is back. Her mother is convinced it’s her but not everyone is sure. If this is the missing girl, then where has she been - and what happened to her on that sunny afternoon?

If she's an impostor, then who would be bold enough to try to fool a child’s own mother – and why?

Then there are those who would rather Olivia stayed missing. The past is the past and some secrets must remain buried. 

An absorbing and gripping psychological thriller that will have you holding your breath until the final page.

My Review:
4 Stars

At six years old Olivia Adams vanished. Search efforts were great and still nothing turned up in regards to her whereabouts. Everyone she ever knew thinks she's dead. Thirteen years later she returns...

Olivia is welcomed with mostly open arms. Her mother's new husband and his brother, however, aren't so sure she is who she claims to be. The major question on everyone's mine though is where she's been. While Olivia obliges those close to her, she timid about telling her story to anyone else.

A story that tests the bonds between parents and children, as well as, husband and wife. Twists and turns that will have you trying to figure out what is reality right up until the end. Definitely a book worth reading.
