They have been pestering the police and her friends ever since her disappearance, note the time of every phone-call just in case it is Emma, keep her car ready and waiting in the garage, and retain all of her Christmas presents in her bedroom - not touched since she left - upstairs. Eventually, Diane's search leads her to the dark, isolated village of Withens, where she runs into Ben Cooper, ... Read More: |
