Review: The Step Child by Nicole Trope

 



This books is a wonderful thriller, which has you guessing the entire book, which makes you want to keep on reading to find the clues and solve the puzzle.


The books is based around 6 main characters.

Randall - Father of Millie & Shelby and husband of Leonie

Bianca - Shelby's Mum and first wife of Randall

Leonie - Millie's Mum

Shelby - Millie's 12 year old step sister who was babysitting Millie at the time she went missing.

Millie - The 3 year old missing girl

Ruth - A recluse, that has a hoarding disorder, and doesn't appear to be related to the family, but with each page you turn you know there must be some kind of link that you are waiting patiently to discover.

Everybody has a secret to keep, and watching these secrets unfold throughout the novel, is extremely dramatic and entertaining.

"A secret kept, is a secret you live to regret"

The book is very mysterious, and keeps you on your toes, always guessing whether little Millie is even alive or whether something horrible or sinister has happened to her.

I particularly enjoyed the way each chapter, tells the story by one of the main female characters, ie. Ruth, Shelby or Leonie. You discover their thoughts through this horrible ordeal and see their side of each moment as the path to discovery of what has happened to Millie is revealed.

Thankyou to Netgalley, Bookouture and Nicole Troupe for my advanced copy in return for my honest review.

3 Stars: It was a good book and well-crafted. I would recommend it to the right person.
