"A twist and turn on every page, this book held my every available minute captive. I picked this book up last night after finishing my other novel and just finished this a few minutes ago!! David Bell has earned himself a loyal reader. "
— Tiffany (5 out of 5 stars)
" Quick read. It caught my attention and had me turning pages like crazy trying to find out if there was some odd twist to the story. However, in the end I wasn't quite as satisfied as I would have liked. All that hype for not much to say during the conclusion. "
— Sheri, 2/13/2014" unresolved ending in my eyes. I wanted more closure. "
— Anissa, 2/6/2014" I loved this book. I couldn't put the book down until the end. It's a must read! "
— Patt, 1/30/2014" Ew. Compelling idea, but no thanks. Thought the writing was a little bland and the main character supremely unlikable. Maybe I can't relate because I have no children. Who knows? I didn't enjoy the book at all though. "
— Matt, 1/25/2014" I really enjoyed the first 2/3 of this book, based on that it would have gotten 4+ stars. Unfortunately last part ruined it for me. I do not understand why so many things went unsaid (ie: "he lied to you", "we never stopped looking for you"), why a father would put himself and his daughter in such dangerously stupid situations, the ever swinging hate/love relationship between the brothers. Just ruined it for me. However based on the beginning/middle of the book I will give this author another shot. "
— Kerrin, 1/25/2014" This was very gripping and had surprising twists in it but it was not cheery. "
— Evalyn, 1/20/2014" This story is about a 12 year old girl who goes missing. The way the family behaves, especially her father Tom, felt unsettling to me. A quick suspensful read. "
— Stacy, 1/17/2014" Sloppy, awkward read. Characters actions made me was to scream with annoyance, and all attempts to add a who dunit feel to the book felt contrived and cheap. "
— Mckenzie, 1/8/2014" I pretty much couldn't stand any of the characters and it was completely unrealistic as far as how things unraveled. The fathers obsession got really annoying as well. "
— Amy, 12/10/2013" Started out good, decent potential. Never quite developed enough though - it was kind of flat. Disappointing! "
— Stacey, 12/5/2013" I really liked this book. I would recommend it as a good read. "
— Nicole, 12/3/2013" So far so good. The book is slower paced but that pace almost makes it more gripping. So far (I am 3/4 of the way through) it has kept me interested and I am eager to know how everything fits together to have ended up with the Kaitlyn's dissappearance.... "
— Carrie, 11/21/2013" It was a good read. "
— Krystle, 11/15/2013" I really liked this suspenseful book. You really didn't know what to expect from the characters. I'd have liked to see a bit more character development on some of the main people, but all in all, a great book that you can't put down!!! "
— Lisa, 11/13/2013" story about a missing girl and what happens when she's found 4 years later. very slow. not as suspenseful as i thought it'd be "
— Tk0339, 9/23/2013" Enjoyed this book. As a mother it was interesting to read what a father might feel and think when something like this happens. I do wish it had went into more detail about what the girl went through and how she ended up being and feeling the way that she did. "
— Maggie, 9/4/2013" Read this book straight through without stopping. It's an agonizing look at what happens to a family when an abducted child comes home. "
— Myndi, 9/1/2013" The suspense in this book was phenomenal. There was just enough items that came up that satisfied a little bit and then bring up more questions. I really loved this book. "
— Jenny, 1/19/2013" I loved this book! I could not put it down. I am sometimes turned off by books like this because they are too predictable, but this one was not predictable at all. A must-read! "
— Heather, 7/15/2012" I couldn't put it down,but in a way that reminded me of watching something incredibly gross and horrifying. While the writing was suspenseful the story was awful. Really really awful. Don't read it. "
— Carol, 5/25/2012" Sadly, this book did not live up to my expectations. The characters are rather one-dimensional and the plot twists are both predictable and absurd. Not the best psychological thriller I've ever read, by any means. "
— Amy, 1/1/2012" page-turner is an understatement; scary read for a scary season; can't wait to see what Bell would give us next. "
— Robin, 11/2/2011" When Tom Stuart's daughter reappears after four years, the first thing everyone wants to know is what happened. But the truth is shocking. <br/><br/>A dark, dark read. "
— Becky, 10/22/2011" So I wanted a quick read page-turner and that's what I got. Skimming helped the pages turn faster than they would have if I'd bothered to read closely. The characters are kind of wooden, and at times hard to believe. "
— Jane, 10/22/2011" Just okay. Too many superfluous characters. "
— Paulette, 10/12/2011" Ew. Compelling idea, but no thanks. Thought the writing was a little bland and the main character supremely unlikable. Maybe I can't relate because I have no children. Who knows? I didn't enjoy the book at all though. "
