Auf der Isle of Skye vor Schottlands Küste nehmen Virginia Quentin und ihr Mann ein schiffbrüchiges Paar auf. Damit beginnt eine Kette unheilvoller Ereignisse, die auch ihre kleine Tochter in Gefahr bringt ... This is my second Charlotte Link and I love her stories. Also this book is so complex that it lasted until the last moment until I recognized the true culprit. Virginia Quentin spends her holidays together with her husband and her seven-year-old daughter Kim in the Hebrides. As a boat accident Nathan and Livia Moor lost their sailing ship and all their belongings, Virginia receives the two. She leaves their holiday home with them and travels back to England with her family. Her husband has political ambitions, but she never accompanies him at events. Virginia carries a big secret that makes her sick. Nathan and Livia follow Virginia and her family. He recognizes Virginia's lability and takes advantage of it. She falls in love with him and wants to start a new life with him. This is the one main plot of the book, the other plot revolves around young girls who are kidnapped, sexually abused and killed. This is also getting closer to Virginia's daughter. Will the police be able to rescue Kim and who is the culprit? Maybe Nathan? Virginia begins to doubt everything and everyone. I'd give it four and a half stars. I really did enjoy reading it, it is a very nice story that concentrates on the emotional life everyone leads alone, especially when around others. It isn't a story you'd always remember, but it does touch the reader in many places and raises some questions about how alone one could be in a relationship, etc... i loved it :) no reviews | add a review
