COVER REVEAL
I planned the perfect vacation. But now my son is missing…
Everyone believes my husband Donovan and I have it all – a loving marriage, two adorable children and the dream house. But beneath the surface of our enviable American lifestyle lies a secret that binds us tighter than our vows.
I thought we could keep the truth buried forever, but I was wrong. To protect the secrets of my past, we have to go to Ireland to find the woman who has the power to shatter my perfect family. And I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to stop her…
Except my plan for revenge has gone horribly wrong. And now my eight-year-old son Barnaby is missing.
My body trembles as I scan the sunny spot where I last saw him. But there’s no sign of Barnaby’s blue t-shirt and sandy blonde hair.
Who has taken my son? I thought I was in control but now I fear this whole vacation was a trap… Can I save my family, or will our lives be destroyed forever?
From the number one bestselling author of The Doctor’s Wife, this completely addictive psychological thriller will have you glued to the pages until the very last twist! Perfect for fans of T.M. Logan, Freida McFadden and John Marrs.
My Review
Daniel Hurst, the king of revenge plots, returns following The Doctor's Child with another twisty, mind-bending thriller, THE FAMILY TRIP. A family hires a tour guide for an Ireland holiday; however, things are not as they seem, leading to dangerous and unexpected twists.
About...
The Conways, a wealthy American family, vanished without a trace during their holiday in Ireland. The mystery of their disappearance has captivated the media, and a five-million-dollar reward has been offered for any information leading to their whereabouts.
Shannon O'Shea is a tour guide in Dublin, but she does not make much money, and her boss gets most of the profit. Her friends say she should start her own tour guide agency. She tried it and closed the business with nothing to her name.
When she receives a message from a woman named Rosalind about a guided tour and is willing to pay a lot of money, she jumps at the chance for this golden opportunity. First, $10K when she turns it down. Then the offer is $20 for a personalized five-day tour.
Donovan and Rosalind are a wealthy couple from Wellesley in Boston, MA. They are traveling to Ireland with their young son, Barnaby, and nanny, Philippa, for an authentic Irish experience.
Is this the best or worst day of Shannon's life? She soon will discover. Things do not turn out the way Shannon planned. How did this couple choose her? What were their motives?
Soon, Shannon realizes she is caught in a dangerous web of deceit, secrets, and lies. The couple has a sinister plot in motion, and she is in the middle. But things are not as they seem... Trust no one.
My thoughts...
THE FAMILY TRIP is another twisty wicked domestic suspense told from POVs— Shannon and Rosalind with a jaw-dropping twist. While not one of my favorites, it is still a fun, quick summer entertaining popcorn thriller!
Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for a gifted, advanced reading copy for an honest review.
