Synopsis

A classic cold case reopened—along with Pandora’s box

When eleven-year-old Lucy Devlin disappeared on her way to school more than a decade ago, it became one of the most famous missing child cases in history.

The story turned reporter Clare Carlson into a media superstar overnight. Clare broke exclusive after exclusive. She had unprecedented access to the Devlin family as she wrote about the heartbreaking search for their young daughter. She later won a Pulitzer Prize for her extraordinary coverage of the case.

Now Clare once again plunges back into this sensational story. With new evidence, new victims and new suspects – too many suspects. Everyone from members of a motorcycle gang to a prominent politician running for a US Senate seat seem to have secrets they’re hiding about what might have happened to Lucy Devlin. But Clare has her own secrets too. And, in order to untangle the truth about Lucy Devlin, she must finally confront her own tortuous past.

My Thoughts

Clare Carlson, an investigative and driven journalist, won a Pulitzer Prize for her coverage on the disappearance of Lucy Devlin 15 years ago, which became a cold case. Now as a, TV News Director, Lucy’s mother, Anne, contacts her stating she has new information. Once again, Clare is on the hunt to find out what did happen on that fateful day. Could Lucy be alive or is it just a mother’s hope?

While investigating this case, the new evidence leads her to have more questions than answers including what is Elliott Grayson, currently in the race for NY Senate race, hiding? His relationship with members of a motorcycle gang, which was the last sighting of Lucy and a grave in NH holding 6 youngster’s bodies that Grayson was part of the task force on the case? What are his secrets?

Clare also has a secret, a big one. Was she the reason that Lucy disappeared? A past that she now has to face.

This book was outstanding!! The suspenseful pace did not let up! So many twists and turns!

The explosive ending blindsided me. So much so that after reading the last word, it took several more hours to process and digest what I had just read! A riveting and thrilling book that held me captive! No question, this novel will be on my 2018 Top Ten Reads!

I highly encourage you to pick up a copy! However, once you start it, just know, that you won’t be able to put it down!

Friday | Friendly Fill-Ins


Hosted by McGruffy’s Reader and 15 and Meowing

This week’s Fill-Ins:

1. It is __________________.

2.The best part of last week was ____________________.

3. Every summer, I _________.

4. Once upon a time, _________.

My answers:

1. It is what it is.
Right before I opened my email for this week’s Fill-Ins, my husband and I were having a discussion and he said these exact words. I thought it ironic when I saw what the first fill-in for the week was.
.

2. The best part of last week was I finished my Spring cleaning and started getting excited and ready for the upcoming long Holiday weekend because my son, who lives out of state, his wife, and my granddaughter came in last night to stay with us!!!!.

3. Every summer, I look forward to either sitting by and/or in the pool on my float reading. And at night sitting on the deck by the fire pit reading, sometimes with a nice chilled glass of wine. Since I’m a Summer person, I just wish the season was longer..

4. Once upon a time, I was younger and thinner.
I sometimes think if I could be granted a do-over, it would be when my sons were small. Those were the best years of my life. And going with today’s summer theme, I remember other Moms complaining that they couldn’t wait for the summer vacation to end so their children would be back in school, whereas I loved when my boys were home on vacations from school. Our house was the go-to house in the summer since we had the pool. At 10 am, their friends knew that the pool would open and they would spend their days here. My husband would complain a little because he couldn’t understand why the grocery bill was so much higher. But feeding approximately 8 other boys, besides our 2, in the pool all day, made for a much needed well stocked refrigerator/pantry.
