A gut tightening read!

+ For the Lost
+ Gritty and moving

I guess like myself, many UK readers will since this tale involves a child kidnapping and the events a year later inevitably make comparisons in their mind with the widely publicised McCann case, especially in its depiction of the major impact of events on the parents. This is no bad thing in ...

J.D. Robb

Putnam Adult, 2007

Well-done!!!

+ A gripping continuation of the series

I've been reading J.D. Robb for years, well, from the inception of the Eve Dallas series. I've always liked this series a great deal, although I'm not a big fan of "Science Fiction", per se.

Mercy was not one of my favorites, nor was Keeping Faith. maybe I am getting tired of her books, but they use to grab me on page one. Both of these books seemed to drag. ...
