Excellent!

Excellent crime thriller that I simply had to read in one sitting! You will be holding your breath as you turn the pages though the plot twists. Certainly recommended!

I loved every page! It's so much more than expected!

when i first started reading Dear Amy, i thought it was going to be just about a missing girl getting in touch with an agony aunt for help, but this book was so much more, you have Margot Lewis who's a teacher at a school but also works as an agony aunt for the paper for the Dear Amy, after a local missing girl who disappears Margot starts to receive letters to her Dear Amy column Supposedly from another missing girl who went missing 15 years ago going to the police and and thinking it could be linked maybe help find Katie the girls who's gone missing leads Margot to martin who's interested in the letter's and helping Margot, with lots of twist's and turn's that i did not see coming i was shocked and gripped .... Helen Callaghan has come up with an amazing story a very well told story its a book that is Unputdownable and addictive and in parts chilling it's a 5 star read and a book that will keep you up all night and a book that i would read again and would buy for friends.. thank you to the publishers for my copy to read :)

I received this copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review I read this book so quickly, it was impossible to put down – during the UEFA football matches that I was supposed to be watching, at the pub, in front of the TV – everywhere. From the first “Dear Amy” letter to the end it was a whirlwind of action and suspense. There is a twist that you will never see coming – but it doesn’t end there! The heroine, Margot, comes across initially as a very capable, very sympathetic teacher and agony aunt, who is having to deal with an unbelievably egotistical and selfish ex-husband. She seems to be coping well – and then the letters appear along with the first cracks in her life. Her previous psychiatric history – hidden from all but those closest to her – starts to impact on her daily life as she becomes more and more obsessed with the missing teenage girls. The book actually starts, not with Margot, but with the teenager Katie, who is in a terrible – but amazingly well portrayed – strop with her mother and step-father, and preparing to run away. You can feel her stomping out the door in a fit of teenage pique, and you just know that it is not going to end well. All the characters are so well drawn, and so believable. Your heart bleeds for Margot and Katie, and likewise for Bethan and Angelique (are they even still alive?). You want to spit at the despicable Eddy, cheer for Martin Forester, and cringe in fear every time Alex/Chris appears on the page. There is nothing formulaic about this book. It is thrilling from start to finish, and expertly written. But don’t start it if you have anything important to get done – it won’t let you go!
