I've enjoyed the Cara Black books I've read, but I know what you mean about the right book/wrong time--guess we've all had that experience. And we don't all love the same books for whatever the reason! :)jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-24306838520439381532016-09-25T16:08:39.208-05:002016-09-25T16:08:39.208-05:00Great review of The Lost Girls!

I tried one of the Cara Black books years ago but I didn't like it so much but it could have been a case of right book/wrong time.

It's like being at the movie theater with people who can't help themselves and call out, "Don't go in there!" or "Look out behind you!" Books that feature the death of a child are hard for me to read, however. You know what a fan I am of Aimee Leduc, so knowing there is a prequel may bug me until I buy it. P.S. 3328 pages is very long. ;-))Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06666609213171939599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-71739072147052266422016-09-23T09:28:50.365-05:002016-09-23T09:28:50.365-05:00The Lost Girls sounds good to me.

It's best if their voices are ambiguous and have us guess the truth till the end. Love it! Glad you liked both the prose and story. Will have to check it out. :) Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967837585961009598noreply@blogger.com
