A review by zasou_reads
The Lost Boy by Jane Renshaw

4.0

Anna has offered a one week vacation to Rod and his wife, Penny, as well as their two boys, Alfie and Freddie. Rod is elated to get a one-week free vacation on an isolated island, but Penny has reservations as she finds Anna to be a little peculiar. And Anna does have a hidden agenda...
The story is told in dual POV, from Anna and Penny, in a remote island setting. It was predictable with absolutely no likable characters (especially the two boys, which I found to be horrible little human beings), and I admit to only scanning the parts where there was bird talk as I found it uninteresting, but someone who likes bird will probably appreciate the details. It was a good thriller with a lot of tension building.
I received an advance review copy for free from NetGalley and Inkubator Books, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
