Somewhere along the way, I guess I started struggling with books that seemed to have more of a historical concept to them. It just didn't pull me in and make me want to stay up all night trying to finish it like you want a good book to do.

The silent children by Amna k Boheim.
The photograph haunts him following his mother's death and there's something about her old house in Vienna, that's not quite right. As much as max wants to stay away, he can't, as he uncovers his mother's long buried past and the secrets preserved by Annabels missing friends. But as more is to discover, some children can never be completely silenced.
Absolutely fantastic read with brilliant characters. A twister of a read. What a ending. Wow. Must read. Highly recommended. Definitely worth more than 5*. Netgalley and matador.
