My 2 cents:
I really enjoyed Allan's book. A boy goes missing and the mother has such fantasies about what is going on. I don't want to tell too much as I don't want to give the book away. Allan's characters are wonderful. Frank is a great character with so many twists you will not want to put the book down. I also like the fact it pining the villain down is hard to do. I will be reading more of Allan's work.
