Why read it?
2 authors picked 99 Red Balloons as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A child is taken. A family is shattered. But this plays out a little differently than most missing child cases. I definitely did not expect that epic twist. It’s well written and you’ll tear through the pages with the song 99 Red Balloons playing in your head the whole time.
From Lorna's list on reads to keep you awake all night.
A beautifully written, cleverly constructed dual-narrative story that follows the abduction of a child and the aftermath experienced by the family, interwoven with the story of a widow whose grandchild also went missing. It’s packed with family secrets and lies and I found it enjoyable trying to untangle it all! This book is emotive and suspenseful and the killer twist at the end is just brilliant.
From Sam's list on psychological thrillers with a jaw-dropping twist.
