The Dead Of Winter
By
Billy McLaughlin
Sometimes the truth is closer
to home than you know…
When little Archie Miller is taken from his cot, the clock is ticking for Detective Kevin Wallace to return the baby to his devastated mother. At first it looks like the act of a teenage girl who just wants attention.
However, Wallace discovers there’s something more sinister at play in this brand-new novel from the writer of ‘Lost Girl’ and ‘In the Wake of Death’.
The small community begin to point the finger in another direction. Anything to divert eyes away from the secrets and the lies that they themselves are caught up in.
What really happened to Archie Miller and what lengths will a parent go to when protecting one of their own?

What did I think of the Book?
This is a nice
neighbourhood, things like this don't happen here.
It is every
parents worst nightmare. When Dan went into the nursery to check on his baby
he found the crib empty. It is now up to the police to piece together all the
evidence, and while they do so they discover that every family in the street
has secrets, some more so than others. But the question remains…Who kidnapped
baby Archie?
The Dead of
Winter is a page-turning, 'who done it?' read. With a super-fast pace
and many twists and turns, this book is unputadownable.
I really
enjoyed reading all the multiple points of views and watching the event unfold.
When I thought I knew where Mr McLaughlin was going with his story, he would
suddenly throw another curve ball, and the story would go off in another
direction with another possible suspect. Gripping!!
I really
enjoyed this book and I read it in one sitting. Fantastic!!
I Highly
Recommend.
