Having read The Drowning Girl the premise of this one looked to be better so I didn't resist and handed over cash.

As I was with Drowning Girl again I was unsure about the length of book for the amount of story. Again it seemed longer than it needed bt maybe that's just me. After all a precis would cover any book really.
That said there were a few key moments in this one where I just thought the author was absolutely spot on with the main characters reaction or lack of reaction.
Would I buy the next one? probably.

I read this in only two days on vacation, and I stayed up late into the night because I wanted to find out what happened. I was excited about this book because I really loved The Drowning Girl, but this one doesn't quite live up to that one.
I loved the subject matter, because I'm always interested in strange syndromes like Munchausen by Proxy, and even though it kept me interested the whole way through, the ending was somewhat of a let down to me.
Yes, it was like a mystery and you are dying to find out, but then...maybe I built it up too much in my mind. There were endings running through my head, and even though I didn't expect any of them to be THE ending, I guess I just wanted it to be a little more climactic!
Thanks for sharing your book!!! I will still read this author if I find any more of her books. She has something that makes me keep wanting to come back!
I'm going to get the address for the next reader!

Wonderful book, set in England and the tension pulled you through. Daisy, the 7 yo daughter is violently ill. But is it the mother making her sick, trying to be the perfect mother? Or is there something really wrong? Mom's childhood was a disaster, but she finally gets a clue for Daisy when she breaks down and finallly flies to Germany to see her mother and set her childhood memories and questions to rights.
