The Boy That Never Was

by Karen Perry
The Boy That Never Was - Thryft
The Boy That Never Was - Thryft

Obsessive search for a lost son.

The Boy That Never Was is a gripping psychological thriller that explores the depths of parental love and guilt. The novel is narrated in hauntingly beautiful prose that evokes a sense of unease and foreboding. The story is masterfully crafted with twists and turns that keep the reader guessing until the very end. The characters are complex and flawed, and their innermost hearts are explored with great sensitivity and depth. This is a novel that will leave a lasting impression on the reader and is recommended for fans of Tana French and Jeffery Deaver.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
