Title: The Stolen Child
Author: Carmel Harrington

40 years ago, a child goes missing on a cruise ship. Is he dead? Or is he still alive?
“Secrets always find a way to reveal themselves”
This book is told in multiple POV, across multiple timelines and I felt it was a little confusing until I got used to who was who and what was where.
It’s a fairly sad family drama but quite thought provoking in places. Whilst I didn’t overly warm to any character in particular, Sally seemed very sweet and Lily and Zach had a heartwarming bond.
I found it believable, but it was a little slow paced and predictable for my liking.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Headline for my advanced copy.
