‘Hattie!’ Carrie called, an edge to her voice. ‘Hattie, this isn’t funny, come out now.’ Carrie moved through the woods on shaking legs. She tried calling, shouting, screaming, but everything was quiet. Her little sister was gone.
Detective Carrie Flynn’s sister Hattie was kidnapped when they were both little girls. After the police failed to find the culprit, Carrie swore she would become a detective and solve the case herself. But the face of the man who snatched Hattie is a blank in her memory...
Twenty years later, eleven-year-old Melanie Wilson is reported missing, a quiet child who longs to fit in, just like Hattie… Carrie has to fight off memories of her lost sister to concentrate on the case, but she soon finds grainy black-and-white footage of Melanie boarding a boat and vanishing. She discovers Melanie has been taken to Pomona, a deserted island, almost inaccessible from the city. But who took little Melanie, and why?

She discovers Melanie has been taken to Pomona, a deserted island, almost inaccessible from the city. But who took little Melanie, and why?
Then the police receive a desperate cry for help from another young girl: I gave you his name, told you where to find him, but you did nothing. My blood is on your hands. Carrie traces the call to the same docks where Melanie was last seen. Now she has a second missing child to save.
But the sound of the broken voice has unlocked something in Carrie. The blurred face of her sister’s kidnapper is starting to become clearer…
Carrie is sure the lost girls are in terrible danger – and that there’s a link between her sister’s disappearance and this case. To find Melanie, Carrie must unleash the memories she’s buried for years. And if she uses her own demons to bring Melanie home, can she finally find out what happened to her sister?
This absolutely unputdownable thriller will keep you up all night until you reach the final heart-stopping page! Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Val McDermid and Lisa Regan.

J.M. Hewitt writes crime fiction and is the author of three previous crime fiction novels and has been published in two short story publications. Her work usually incorporates twentieth and twenty-first century events and far flung locations, and her novels explore the darker side of human behaviour.
In contrast to the sometimes dark content of her books, she lives in a seaside town in Suffolk with her dog, Marley.
When she was ten years old she'd read all the books she owned, all those on her mother's bookcase and everything the library had to offer. She decided the only course of action to take was to write her own stories. Thirty years later, she is still writing them.

The Quiet Girls
By J.M. Hewitt
Review by
Heidi Lynn's Book Reviews
First, I want to thank J.M. Hewitt, Bookouture and NetGalley
for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
J.M. Hewitt’s The Quiet Girls is an absolutely addictive
mystery thriller the kind of story that gets more intense the deeper into you
read. It is one of those books that I found you really had to pay attention to or
you might miss a detail.
This book is dedicated to Lou and Lisa. Two of the strongest
woman J.M. Hewitt knows.
This story may not be for everyone as it does deal with some
adult issues that may be triggers to some readers. This story involves abduction,
pedophile, rape, controlling spouses, alcoholism, mental illness, infidelity,
etc.
J.M. wrote a incredibly unique mystery thriller unlike I had
ever read before. She told the story of Carrie as a young girl, the bond with
her younger sister Hattie, and the tragedy that had happened to her. Fast
forward to modern day as Carrie is now a Detective working on a very
interesting case. A case that had a shocking twist.
I loved this and how this all tied together when it was revealed
in the book. Melanie in the book was named after Melanie Hamilton from the book
Gone with the Wind. She was kind, loyal and very determined in the film. Carrie’s
(who was named after the actress Carrie Fisher) sister Hattie was named after
the woman who played Mammy in Gone with the Wind. She was the first person to
win an Oscar. Hattie like the actress was black.
In every book there seems to be a character I don’t care
for. In this book hands down it was Harry. Harry was extremely controlling! If
he said It was going to happen it was going to happen. There was no saying no
to this man! Some of the things he did totally shocked me! I wondered how Alice
put up with him!
Some of the names of the characters were so unique,
different and pretty! I just loved the name Willow, Gabe, Hattie, Scarlett, and
Lennon.
