On a cold afternoon in December 1995, two young girls are found abandoned on a platform at Pearse Station in Dublin.

Thirty years later, investigative journalist Vega is determined to find out what happened to the so-called 'Nowhere Girls'. Where did their mother go? Why did no one come forward to claim them? And where are they now?

Searching for answers takes her on a journey with twists she never could have imagined. And one that could put everything else she knows at risk; including her new relationship, her career, and her life as she knows it.

Compulsive, addictive reading that I totally devoured over the course of an afternoon. 

And from the wow moment early on towards the end of Part 1, I knew i needed to do nothing else other than read this book. 

I was totally invested in Vega's story and that of the Nowhere Girls and never would have dreamt the directions this story took

Suffice to say it will keep you on tender hooks throughout. 

Vega is an amazing character, she is determined to find out the truth, no matter what methods she uses, and over the course of the story we meet some fascinating characters.  Some far more likeable than others. 

This is Carmel Harrington at her absolute finest. She is able to tug at heartstrings, make you emotionally invested in the story, while still trying to flabbergast the reader.  And it totally works. 

I couldn't have devoured this faster, and I thought my time spent between the covers of this book was time incredibly well spent. 

Thank you to Headline and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
