Crime and Thrillers
What would you do if you were suddenly reminded of something you witnessed as a young child, but had only just realised the terrible significance of what you saw?
When Cerys Morgan, a beautiful young student, vanished from a crowded beach in Cornwall while camping with friends during the heatwave summer of 1976 it triggered the largest police operation of its kind at the time. Hundreds of locals joined the search and it made the headlines for weeks, but no trace of her was ever found.
Thirty-four years later Emily Harrison is suddenly reminded of something she witnessed as a young child, and only then realises the terrible significance of what she saw. Horrified she tells the police everything she can remember. The trouble is, even her own parents didn’t believe her at the time, so who will believe her now?
Haunted by her memories Emily becomes obsessed and, as the heartbreaking story of Cerys unfolds, she soon realises only she knows the answer. Even when she receives sinister threats - and her contented life rapidly disintegrates around her - she will stop at nothing to find the truth and get closure for Cerys’ elderly parents.
What really did happen on her sixth birthday?
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
Just finished reading "I'm going to find you by JUSTINE PULLAN. This really is a wonderful book for anyone who likes a good whodunnit that also cleverly traverses the time periods of 1976 and 2010. Some interesting and colourful characters, beautifully described scenery in Cornwall and a storyline that is very believable, all bought to life in over 300 pages. I couldn't put it down and the last 90 pages went by without a pause. For any commissioning editors this would make a great drama, and what a soundtrack you'd be able to put to it as well. Thank you Justine for such a wonderful engaging read. Cant wait for your next book.
This was an easy to read book and a page turner - I stayed up really late to get to the end as I couldn't put it down. The switching between the two time periods was very easy to follow. Also loved the setting (I'm a huge Polzeath fan!). The reason it's not a 5 is that I wasn't totally convinced at the start, but after 20-30 pages, i settled into it. I would read another book of hers if she does another!
An amazing book. I was actually on holiday in Polzeath in 1976 and more recently had a few days walking around the coast in this area. Once I started this book I couldn't put it down. It felt as if I was back there in 1976. Probably one of the best books I have read and I just couldn't guess who the real culprit was. I look forward to reading other books from this author.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, not able to put it down. Such a gripping store, and I look forward to reading the next saga of Emily's life.
Loved the intrigue and the constant backwards and forwards between the two stories. Couldn't put the book down during the last 200 pages as I just simply wanted to know who it was. I would highly recommend this book. Great read and a really enjoyable intrigue. Don't hesitate to buy it!
