BOOK SYNOPSIS:
They left four children safe upstairs.
They came back to three.
On the fifth floor of the White Caps Hotel, four young boys are left alone while their parents dine downstairs.
But when one of the parents checks on the children at midnight, they discover one of them is missing.
The boys swear they stayed in their room. CCTV confirms that none of them left the building. No trace of the child is found.
Now the hunt is on to find him, before it’s too late – and before the search for a boy becomes a search for a body…
REVIEW:
A child goes missing in a hotel and there are no clues as to where he went and with who….
The concept of the book is really good. Before I started the book and seeing “they left children and came back to three” I already had a number of questions. Why did they leave kids alone in the room being my top one. But also why take only one child out of four? And so many more.
The problem? The story really didn’t go in that direction. The parents hire two people to investigate and find their child but the investigators are so weird that I kept shaking my head at them. I just couldn’t really even like these two.
This book just wasn’t what I hoped it would be.
