Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:    â¢Â An Amazon Best Book of the Year for 2016
  â¢Â Costa Book Award for First Novel finalist
   â¢Â Dagger Award finalist
"Kate Hamerâs gripping debut novel immediately recalls the explosion of similarly titled books and movies, from Stieg Larssonâs The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and its sequels, to The Girl on the Train to Gone Girl ⦠"âMichiko Kakutani, The New York Times
âKeeps the reader turning pages at a frantic clip... Whatâs most powerful here is not whodunnit, or even why, but how this mother and daughter bear their separation, and the stories they tell themselves to help endure it.â âCeleste Ng (Everything I Never Told You)
âCompulsively readable...Beautifully written and unpredictable, I had to stop myself racing to the end to find out what happened.â âRosamund Lupton (Sister)Â
âBoth gripping and sensitive â beautifully written, it is a compulsive, aching story full of loss and redemption.â âLisa Ballantyne (The Guilty One)
"Hamerâs dark tale of the lost and found is nearly impossible to put down.â âBooklist
Newly single mom Beth has one constant, gnawing worry: that her dreamy eight-year-old daughter, Carmel, who has a tendency to wander off, will one day go missing.
And then one day, it happens: On a Saturday morning thick with fog, Beth takes Carmel to a local outdoor festival, they get separated in the crowd, and Carmel is gone.
Shattered, Beth sets herself on the grim and lonely mission to find her daughter, keeping on relentlessly even as the authorities tell her that Carmel may be gone for good.
Carmel, meanwhile, is on a strange and harrowing journey of her ownâto a totally unexpected place that requires her to live by her wits, while trying desperately to keep in her head, at all times, a vision of her mother â¦
Alternating between Bethâs story and Carmelâs, and written in gripping prose that wonât let go, The Girl in the Red Coatâlike Emma Donoghueâs Room and M. L. Stedmanâs The Light Between Oceansâis an utterly immersive story thatâs impossible to put down . . . and impossible to forget.
