So Melanie's 6 year old daughter disappears during a game of hide and seek in the apartment block's communal gardens at around 6pm on 10 November 2019. (No spoilers, it's the premise of the book.) I just looked up sunset in the Paris region on that very day: 16 minutes past 5. How likely is it that Melanie, not to mention the other parents, would let the kids go on playing in the dark? Could they even see to play?
