Fresh Fiction Review

Emma in the Night
Wendy Walker

Reviewed by Teresa Cross
Posted October 17, 2017

Thriller Psychological

This novel wins the thriller of the year in my book so far! The novel, EMMA IN THE NIGHT written by Wendy Walker will be one that you tell yourself you have to finish before putting it down. The suspense, the surprises, and the family secrets will have you obsessed with finishing it for the answers. Walker takes a subject such as a child kidnapping, every parent's worst fear, and turns it into a spellbound novel that will stay with you days after finishing it. Never once did I feel lost, as one of the characters would reminisce on things of the past. It is very easy to keep up.

One night two sisters, Cass and Emma disappear without a trace. At the ages of fifteen and seventeen with Emma being the oldest no one had seen are heard from them for three years. Then one day all of that changes when Cass returns without her sister. She tells a story that leaves everybody asking, even more, questions and trying to find out what has become of Emma. A forensic psychiatrist, Dr. Abby Winters uncovers family secrets of a mother who is narcissistic. Does this all fit in with Emma's disappearance? There is a race against time as they try to unravel what has become of Emma. But will it be too late?

EMMA IN THE NIGHT is a suspense thriller that keeps giving you more questions when you think you have figured it out! I love it when a novel can do that. It makes a surprising treat. Walker is able to feed your anticipation with the turn of every page. I really enjoyed EMMA IN THE NIGHT by Wendy Walker and highly recommend it if you love suspense novels!

SUMMARY

One night three years ago, the Tanner sisters disappeared: fifteen-year-old Cass and seventeen-year-old Emma. Three years later, Cass returns, without her sister Emma. Her story is one of kidnapping and betrayal, of a mysterious island where the two were held. But to forensic psychiatrist Dr. Abby Winter, something doesn't add up. Looking deep within this dysfunctional family Dr. Winter uncovers a life where boundaries were violated and a narcissistic parent held sway. And where one sister's return might just be the beginning of the crime.
