In the Woods
1 journaler for this copy...
Arrived today from a paperbackswap member.
This one, in some ways, is a lot like real life. Not every question is answered.
The first mystery is of the missing children. Three children go into the woods and ultimately only one is found. The other two are missing and that solitary child cannot remember what happened. His memory does not improve over the next twenty years, but when he returns to the area as a police detective to investigate a new crime, he can't get that day out of his head.
Thus Detective Rob Ryan and his partner Cassie Maddox investigate one crime while Rob quietly looks a little into the earlier one as well. If his supervisor knew he was "that boy" he'd be taken off the case. So hiding his early identity becomes important as well.
The investigations go all over the place, swinging from now to then and from town to town. There are many possible perps for the current crime. Are any of them related to the earlier one?
Complex and interesting, well-developed characters, a pleasure to read.
