My thoughts on Found by Erin Kinsley

 Found

By Erin Kinsley

When 11 year old Evan vanishes without trace, his parents are plunged into their worst nightmare.

Especially as the police, under massive pressure, have no answers. But months later Evan is unexpectedly found, frightened and refusing to speak. His loving family realise life will never be the same again.

DI Naylor knows that unless those who took Evan are caught, other children are in danger. And with Evan silent, she must race against time to find those responsible...

A gripping, heart-wrenching thriller with the emotional power of series like BROADCHURCH and THE MISSING, this is the perfect read for fans of Cara Hunter, Heidi Perks, Claire Douglas, Fiona Barton, Susan Lewis and Nuala Ellwood.

Found is a deeply emotional and haunting thriller about the disappearance and shocking return of 11-year-old Evan. When Evan vanishes without a trace, his parents, Claire and Matt, are thrown into agony and desperation — but the nightmare doesn’t end when he’s found. He comes home terrified, silent, and profoundly changed. 

Erin Kinsley doesn’t just focus on the mystery of who took Evan; she’s equally invested in how his absence and return shatter the lives of everyone around him. The novel explores grief, trauma, and the complicated road to recovery with sensitivity and realism. 

 DI Naylor, the detective on the case, is determined to catch the perpetrators — but Evan’s silence and the lack of clear leads make the investigation agonising and emotionally fraught. 

One of the book’s biggest strengths is its character work. Evan’s parents feel raw and genuine as they struggle to understand how to support him while dealing with their own guilt and pain. 

 Meanwhile, the police procedural elements are believable without overshadowing the human cost of Evan’s ordeal

If you like crime novels that balance mystery with deep emotional resonance, Found is a gripping, heartbreaking read that stays with you long after the last page.
