The Curfew by T.M. Logan

Good morning, readers! Today I'm a stop on the Compulsive Readers tour for T.M. Logan's latest thriller, The Curfew. 

Andy and his wife trust their kids. Their daughter, Harriet, is a whiz at all things computers and their teenage son, Connor, is out of school after exams. 

But after a post exams party, Connor misses his curfew. And it's not until the police call that his parents realize it. 

It started with a frantic call from Andy's brother. His son, Zac, was missing. Had Connor seen him? Andy wasn't sure because Connor had been sleeping when he left their house to take the dog for a walk. And when he returns, he finds out it wasn't Connor asleep upstairs at all. It was Zac. 

Now the police have Connor in custody and another teen is in fact missing, the daughter of a local sort of celebrity. No one has seen the girl since the night of the party and Connor is the prime suspect. 

Andy thought they could trust their son, but now that trust is being pushed to the limit. Connor isn't talking, but it's clear both he and Zac know something. And everyone knows that the first 48 hours in a missing persons case are key. 

Whoa! I probably shouldn't have read two books themed around parents' worst nightmares back to back!

And that's what this is: a parent's worst nightmare!

There was a party, that led to another smaller party in the woods. Five were in attendance but only four made it home. 

Andy would like to believe his son had nothing to do with a girl's disappearance, but it's starting to look like he barely knows his son at all. And it doesn't help that the police and other parents in the community are suspicious of Connor. 

The book does alternate between various POVs with Andy as the main narrator. But we're also given snippets of the period immediately before the girl's disappearance, which makes it very clear that there's much more to the story. 

You know I love a fast-paced read and this is that in spades! 

The Curfew is officially out March 17 from Zaffre. Be sure to pre order a copy or mark your calendars because you definitely won't want to miss this one!
