What would it take to make you intervene?
When Ella Longfield overhears two attractive young men flirting with teenage girls on a train, she thinks nothing of it—until she realises they are fresh out of prison and her maternal instinct is put on high alert. But just as she’s decided to call for help, something stops her. The next day, she wakes up to the news that one of the girls—beautiful, green-eyed Anna Ballard—has disappeared.
A year later, Anna is still missing. Ella is wracked with guilt over what she failed to do, and she’s not the only one who can’t forget. Someone is sending her threatening letters—letters that make her fear for her life.
Then an anniversary appeal reveals that Anna’s friends and family might have something to hide. Anna’s best friend, Sarah, hasn’t been telling the whole truth about what really happened that night—and her parents have been keeping secrets of their own.
Someone knows where Anna is—and they’re not telling. But they are watching Ella.

I would have given this book 5 stars, but it had a slow start and I almost gave up on it, but am glad that I didn't. Ella is listening in to 2 girls talking to 2 men. The conversation gets more intimate and Ella overheard that the men have prison connections. The next day Ella sees a picture of a missing girl and immediately recognised that the girl, Anna, is the same girl she saw talking with the men. She reports what she has seen and heard and then Ella is in the spotlight. She tries to get back to her normal every day activities, working in her flower shop and being a mother and wife, but then she starts receiving mail that someone is watching her. A year later the frightening mail is still arriving and Anna has yet to be found. This thriller is well written and keeps you intrigued until the end. I thank Netgalley and the publishers for giving me an ARC.
