After the eclipse by Fran Dorricott 

Paperback published by Titan books 5th March 2019

Two solar eclipses. Two missing girls.

Sixteen years ago in the small town of Bishop’s Green, eleven year old Olive Warren was abducted during the darkness of a solar eclipse while her older sister Cassie was supposed to be watching her. She was never seen again. When another local girl goes missing just before the next big eclipse, Cassie – who has returned to Bishop’s Green to care for her ailing grandmother – suspects the disappearance is connected to her sister: that whoever took Olive is still out there. 

As a journalist, Cassie knows the first forty eight hours are crucial. She now faces a race against the clock to discover the truth, and the missing girls.

MY REVIEW 
I do love a suspenseful story. After the eclipse grabbed my attention from the first page. 

Don’t we all tell our children, never get into a car even if you know who it is.

Eleven year-old Olive as excited that the whole town of Bishop’s Green was coming together to watch the eclipse. 

Olive decided that she didn’t have to go by her sister Cassie’s one rule stay in sight. 

Wanting a better view Olive knew Folly Hill and from the hill she would have a better view. It was only half an hour to go until it became dark, until the eclipse. 
When she approached Wilow Lane, that wasn’t a place for many cars, a van pulled up alongside of Olive, she recognised him, if Olive doesn’t get a move on she will miss the eclipse, so she decided to get a ride. 

Olive Warren disappeared. 
Sixteen years later Cassie returns as a journalist when another local girl goes missing. Cassie suspects that the disappearances of the girl is connected to her sister and that whoever took Olive is still out there. 

I recommend after the eclipse by Fran Dorricott as is an excellent writer building suspense after suspense. If you like Claire McGowan, Paula Hawkins, and Angela Clarke, you will be in for a big treat reading after the eclipse by Fran Dorricott.

I’ve enjoyed this novel so much that I will most certainly want to read the next book by Fran Dorricott
I would like to thank Titan books so much for sending me after the eclipse for an honest review.
