99 Red Balloons
99 Red Balloons | Elisabeth Carpenter
Two girls go missing, decades apart. What would you do if one was your daughter? Eight-year-old Grace is last seen in a sweetshop. Her mother Emma is living a nightmare. But as her loved ones rally around her, cracks begin to emerge. What are the emails sent between her husband and her sister? Why does her mother take so long to join the search? And is there more to the disappearance of her daughter than meets the eye? Meanwhile, ageing widow Maggie Sharples sees a familiar face in the newspaper. A face that jolts her from the pain of her existence into a spiralling obsession with another girl - the first girl who disappeared... This is a gripping psychological thriller with a killer twist that will take your breath away.

And, of course, you have to love the tagline... Don't take #Candy from strangers.

Extra special shout out to my brother (who'll never see this 😂) for the props used in this photo lol

Not much reading today, but I did get to see the balloons launch at Spiediefest. I have some more pics on Instagram.

Mehso-so

Meh.
Pedestrian and predictable. Not a credible plot and I was desperate for this to grind to an end. Not unremittingly bad but, well, just, meh.

Next up is this-a-one... Audiobook version again. My last “read” helped me through a day of washing, ironing, hoovering (Dyson-ing if that‘s a word?), bed-making and kitten herding. Yes, that was me answering the door with my headphones on.
Only just started this and I‘m a little put off by the use of several narrators. Anyhoo, let‘s see how we go. Looks like harrowing subject matter so there‘s a cheery prospect, eh?

This fell into my inbox this morning. I like the sound of it. At 99 pence it was definitely worth a punt and then I saw just Qa.99 for the audiobook as well... Deal done.

Ms_T Looks interesting... 7y
Peterfox123 @Ms_T I'm ready for a bit of crime and mystery. It was either this or rob the Co-Op. 7y
Ms_T Hmm...*thinks*...I think you made the right choice. 7y
