Welcome to Friday 56! Vickery sighed, lit a cigarette, put his hand around the sign post protectively. By page 56 of the book, we know that Camille Preaker is a reporter who grew up in Wind Gap, but has since moved to Chicago. With such a small town population, it would be best of course if the murderer was a stranger. Even the police know that this is unlikely. From old money. Old memories are dredged up, many of which are about her dead sister, who died decades ago.
Hosted by Socrates Book Reviews this is where you share the first paragraph of one or in my case sometimes several of the books that you are currently reading. My sweater was new, stinging red and ugly. It was May 12 but the temperature had dipped to the forties, and after four days shivering in my shirtsleeves, I grabbed cover at a tag sale rather than dig through my boxed-up winter clothes.
Spring in Chicago. Title: Local Woman Missing. Not long after, Meredith Dickey and her six-year-old daughter, Delilah, vanish just blocks away from where Shelby was last seen, striking fear into their once-peaceful community. Are these incidents connected? After an elusive search that yields more questions than answers, the case eventually goes cold.
Now, 11 years later, Delilah shockingly returns. In this smart and chilling thriller, master of suspense and New York Times best-selling author Mary Kubica takes domestic secrets to a whole new level, showing that some people will stop at nothing to keep the truth buried.
My Review: I really struggled between giving this book 3 or 4 stars, but landed on 3 stars. This book is essentially about two women and a 6 year old girl who goes missing in the same town 11 years ago.
