She's been a ghost in his family of two, ever since his mother and sister have been gone. His life has always revolved around his sister, when she was with them and after she went missing. But things don't feel right to her younger brother, Leo.
Now the girl is back, having escaped her captors. All opinions are my ownĮleven years ago, two women and a six year old girl went missing. I received a digital copy via Edelweiss.I’m in the minority, so do check out the 4 & 5 star reviews, but for me, it's a very generous 2 stars. Has she or the editor ever heard of conjunctions?! There are many more examples (the whole book). Kate doesn’t stand out the way that Bea does. Keep in mind I read an ARC but a friend who read the published copy confirmed the writing. It drove me crazy! Does anyone remember the primers for first graders (yes, I'm old): “See Dick.
I haven’t seen a reviewer mention this yet, so I’ll be the first. It was an opportunity for the author to further a personal agenda and lecture us and I didn’t like it.īUT, the worst offense was the writing style. Plus, the scenes with the OB/GYN had no bearing on the story at all. When I found out what happened to the missing women my eyes practically rolled out of my head.Īnd the ending, all tied up in a pretty bow, with a character who has been severely traumatized for YEARS (given the location, that it had been going on for years without detection was laughably ridiculous) goes on to live a completely normal and happy life as if nothing had happened. A CHILD could have seen what he missed.Ī police officer hides a key piece of evidence, but since when is only ONE PERSON in an entire department privy to a key piece of evidence in a very high profile case (or any case)? It made me laugh, but it was supposed to be serious. I can’t give details as they would be spoilers.īUT, the physician who performs an autopsy on a victim is a complete moron to miss obvious signs that it didn't happen the way he said it did.
If I listed all the implausible actions, reactions, events, scenarios, and conclusions I would re-write the entire book.
Sorry, that's it, there's only one positive that I can come up with. Most of my friends here enjoyed it, but I did not.įirst the positives: I loved the beginning.
