Book Synopsis:

HE FOUND YOUR MISSING CHILD. YOU CAN TRUST HIM. . . CAN’T YOU?

‘Compulsive, scary and breathtakingly original’ Dreda Say Mitchell

Perfect for fans of FOUND by Erin Kinsley, I LOOKED AWAY by Jane Corry and NOW YOU SEE HER by Heidi Perks, this gripping emotional thriller will keep you hooked from the very first page.

When her five-year-old daughter disappears from the park, Carrie’s world shatters. She is tortured with worry and she blames herself. What if her inability to read facial expressions has put her child in danger?

But just days later, a stranger finds Sofia and brings her home.

Carrie should be relieved, but the abductor is still out there, still unknown. Still after her child.

And are those who have offered their help really the good Samaritans they seem… or has Carrie missed the warning signs?

The Good Samaritan is available in ebook now paperback now. The ebook is currently only 99p. You can purchase your copy using the link below.

My Review:

The Good Samaritan is one of the most gripping, original thrillers I have read for a long time. I was immediately drawn into the story and was unable to put the book down, staying up far too late in order to read a little more of it.

The two main characters Carrie and Sophia were both very engaging ones that I found easy to care about. Carrie suffers from an unusual condition which I didn’t know much about before reading this book. This makes her more vulnerable and it makes the book quite emotional in places as we watch her struggle. She definitely goes through a heart wrenching journey which as a parent myself deeply affected me and my kids all got lots of extra hugs while I was reading.

There were lots of twists in the story which kept me guessing as to which way the story was going. There is a real unsettling atmosphere throughout the book along with some quite scary, though powerful, moments which were very hard hitting. I found myself reading faster and faster as I read as I really wanted to solve the puzzle as well as ensure the characters were ok.

Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Headline for my copy of this book via Netgalley. If you’re a thriller fan then you need to read this book!
