Katie has boundless energy and is full of questions from the second she wakes up. She can be hard work, but Rachel knows how to deal with her.” She kissed the top of Tom’s head. “I don’t know what I’d do without Rachel. She looks after Tom all day while I’m at work, and then goes for Katie at school. She even helps Katie with her homework. I told her she didn’t have to, but she says she doesn’t mind.” Connie nodded. “And when did Rachel go missing?” “On Monday. I know that’s only two days ago, but Rachel has just disappeared. She hasn’t sent me any messages to say where she is. She’s never let me down before. I turned up at her house on Monday to find it empty and her car gone. I’ve phoned her many times, but there’s never any reply. I couldn’t find another childminder at short notice, so I’ve had to take time off work.” Her eyes welled up. “I’m so worried about her. Rachel’s not the kind of person to let anyone down.”

What sort of a person would use a tracking device?” Julia didn’t make a comment to that. She went on to Blanche’s emails and opened some of them. “Blanche made contact with people who are experts on finding out what people are up to. Some of them suggested she use a camera as well as a tracking device. They’ve even given her the names of websites to contact.” Henrietta gulped. “A camera?
