Her One Mistake by Heidi Perks

Charlotte takes her friend's little one to the school fair with her children.  They go to play on one of the bubble houses.  When she looks up again, the little girl is missing.  She was following her children but she has disappeared now.  How do you tell a mother her child is missing?

Gallery Books and Edelweiss let me read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published January 8th.

Nothing in this book is what it seems.  There are mind games, dysfunctional families, danger, and more all tied up in this story.  A happy marriage isn't.  While they search for the missing girl, secrets start coming out of the woodwork.  Will they find the girl in time?  Is one of the parents unstable?

Charlotte finds her friends aren't all real friends.  No one is speaking to her, plans get cancelled, she's become a pariah.   And she can't help feeling guilty and like a failure.

This is a complex story with lots of little nuances and an unexpected ending.  It'll take a while for the people in the case to come to terms with what has happened...
