It's 1985. A man is hunted down and killed by a woman assassin known as The Head Hunter. Sixteen years later, his body turns up and Detective Inspector Lorraine Hunt is called in to investigate. The day the body is found, Claire Lumsdon is the victim of a violent kidnap - the fourth in a series of abductions of young girls. For Claire and her sixteen-year-old sister Kerry, it's the beginning of a nightmare. Convinced the police can't help, Kerry sets out on a frantic search for her sister. But her hunt leads her to much more than she'd bargained for: a violent underworld; a sixteen year old murder; and, finally, the secrets about her past - and her father - which her mother hoped she'd never have to face. And all the time, the clock is ticking for Claire

My mom, AceofHearts, passed away from breast cancer on September 17, 2013. Aside from being one of the best people I know, she was an avid reader and took immense pleasure in Bookcrossing, her book club, and reading many great books. Unfortunately she didn't get around to reading this book.

We had similar tastes in books and would share them whenever we read something we enjoyed. This book sounds interesting so I'm going to keep it to read.

Got about 100 pages in to this and then decided to give up. There were way too many characters introduced in a short period of time to be able to make sense of who they all were. The mother has six (six!!!) children, they have friends, there's a police officer, there's neighbours, there's the bad people. I couldn't keep them all straight. The dialogue was with the accents the characters have, but they all talked exactly the same way (ex. saying "our Claire" when referring to a character). The plot wasn't enough to keep me going so I'm moving on to the next book!

Leaving in the little free library on Newell.
