Nancy can't find her older son in a house fire. She reached her younger son with the last of her strength. Did she save her youngest child? What a tragic and very dramatic scene. I would never want to be in her shoes. A very strong and exciting start to the book. What happened to the boys Liam and Joey?
The other heroine is Ally Fields. This character is a detective sergeant and is currently pregnant with her first child. She is forty-two years old. She is assigned a mysterious fire case. In her office, they suspect arson, and an officer from the local police station is involved in the whole thing. Will Ally discover the truth before it's too late? Is it worth risking her and her baby's life in her current state?
We are moving in two times. We go back 6 years and come back. In addition to an interesting investigation, I also encountered a perfectly conducted moral thread. I've met abusive men who abuse their women.
When I got to know Ally's story, I was very worried about her. In her youth, she experienced a huge tragedy from which she has not yet recovered. I was terrified of her private life. I was hoping this girl would get over it.
To sum up, I liked the whole story hidden in the pages of "The Returned". I couldn't stop reading. An interesting thriller. It was worth getting this book. If, like me, you love thrillers in which you will find plenty of twists and turns, go ahead and reach for this title. Don't hesitate a minute. Do you like surprise endings? If you answered yes to my question, then "The Returned" is for you.
Big applause to the author Amanda Cassidy for such a good book. I am eagerly waiting for her next work. I recommend this author and her latest book.
