What She Knew by Gilly Macmillan
Rachel Jenner is walking in the park with her dog and her
eight-year-old son Ben. He asks if he
can run ahead to the swing, a place he has been to numerous times. As a single mother she knows she can be overprotective
so she gives him this taste of freedom and says yes. That decision will haunt her for the rest of
her life.
Search parties scour the woods for any sign of Ben and as the
days tick by everyone involved: Ben’s mom, dad, aunt and even the police, begin
to fear the worst. As with any
sensational case the media gets involved and Rachel is under attack. The public begins to suspect her, but Rachel
doesn’t much care. She just wants to
find her son and she begins to piece things together but the problem is getting
the police, anyone, to listen to her.
A thriller I couldn’t put down!
I’m pressed for time almost always lately but I made a real effort to
squeeze in reading this book because I had to know what happened. I’m a sucker for mixed media storytelling so
between the two points of view, blog posts, interview snippets and more I was
hooked. You won’t see the ending coming!
