B.A. Paris is a master of the
psychological thriller and Bring Me Back is no exception. I haven’t been
so invested in a book in a long time. I read it in one sitting.
Twelve years earlier, Finn and
his girlfriend Layla Gray were on holiday in France when Layla disappeared and was never
found. The reader learns in the first chapter that Finn told police the truth
about the event but not all of it. The story unfolds from there.
Twelve years later finds Finn is engaged
to Layla’s sister Ellen, drawn together but their shared grief. Finn wants to believe he and Ellen will be
happy together even though a sixth sense tells him not to trust her.
As wedding plans are being made,
Finn receives a phone call from the detective on Layla’s missing person’s case
that a witness claims to have seen Layla near the house in which they had
lived. Items on meaning to both Layla and
Ellen begin showing up in odd places. And
Finn starts receiving anonymous emails from someone who appears to know Layla. Could
Layla still be alive? If so, where has
she been all this time and what does she want?
Divided into three parts and written
in the first person, mostly by Finn – Now and Before, Layla and Finn, and Finn.
If you are interested in reading
more of B.A. Paris’ books, ask one of the reference librarians where to find
them.
