Description
Seven years ago, two boys went missing at sea – and only one was brought to shore. The Sandbank, a remote stretch of coast dotted with beach huts, was scarred forever.
Sarah’s son survived, but on the anniversary of the accident, he disappears without trace. As new secrets begin to surface, The Sandbank hums with tension and unanswered questions. Sarah’s search grows more desperate and she starts to mistrust everyone she knows – and she’s right to.
Someone saw everything on that fateful day seven years ago. And they’ll do anything to keep the truth buried.
Last Seen is a gripping, twisty psychological thriller that begs you to keep turning the pages.

Enjoyable and Spellbinding! You never know what is going to happen next- a real page turner.

This book was captivating from start to finish. The setting of the beach huts on the sandbank was a big part of my enjoyment of this book. I was immediately transported there by the descriptions of the surroundings.
The friendship between Isla and Sarah had some very poignant moments, but throughout the story their relationship was tested when circumstances changed. Their two sons had spent summers together at the beach huts and had a great bond. The day the two boys got into trouble in the sea and only one returned added a whole new dimension to the story. The emotions and the uncertainty of what happened that day changed lives forever. The whole community of beach hut owners were all affected.
I recommend this book for the way the story develops and you become engrossed in finding out the truth. A really gripping read.

The Sandbank was always known as a beautiful, tranquil spot for vacationing by the sea, but that all changes when two boys are lost at sea and only one is returned home. The boys’ mother’s, previously good friends, are now estranged, caught up in a cycle of grief, anger and loss. Then on the 10th anniversary of the drowning, the boy who lived disappears and his parents are terrified. Has survivor’s guilt prompted the boy to do something, or has someone else decided to tak a life for a life? Clarke, author of The Blue, has created another masterpiece of suspense that will leave readers on the edge of their seats
