Review

The Phantom Child is a psychological thriller with many twists and turns and a host of interesting, if not likeable characters. I was really intrigued by the story and the pacing was fantastic. Karina was a difficult character, on the one hand she was suffering a mothers worst nightmare but on the other something never really felt right with her but either way you quickly become invested in her plight to find her missing son.

I certainly didn’t see some of the twists and turns coming and it did keep me hooked. It’s hard to go into greater detail without spoilers but I definitely recommend this to fans of psychological thrillers it has a tightly woven plot, lots of twists and turns and a good cast of characters.
