If anything, I liked this one even better than Two Sisters.
Thirteen years earlier, Olivia Adams disappeared from her back garden. Now, Olivia sits in a coffee shop observing her mother and unsure of whether or not she will approach her.
Olivia does reach out to her mother who has never given up hope. But whether the young woman is Olivia or an impostor, whoever she is--she is not universally welcomed.
This one hooked me at the beginning and held my interest until the end. Even when some of the puzzle works itself out, there are a few surprises to come.
Oh, yes, I will be seeking more of this young author's books!
(I've had this draft ready for a couple of weeks, holding out to schedule it for closer to publication date, but just read Lark's review of Good as Gone by Amy Gentry which has a plot that sounds similar. I've added Gentry's book to my list as I want to compare the two novels.)
Read in July.

Interesting that two new releases have similar plots. I'm still reading "old" books that have appeared in LFL, so I read another Michael Connelly with totally different protagonist, Chasing the Dime, and Anne Tyler's Back When We Were Grownups. After not reading in Guatemala, I came back home itching to read and have stayed up until the wee hours finishing these two this week.
ReplyDeleteIt was a little strange to see Lark's review!
DeleteI know Connelly has another series with a lawyer, but I've only read the ones with Bosch. Vacations are wonderful, but a book makes transitioning back into normal life much easier.
This does sound similar to Good as Gone. I'm interested to see how they compare, too. Thanks for including a link back to my post. Funny how they timed out so similarly. :D
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed The Girl Who Came Back and want to read Good as Gone after reading your review. :)
DeleteWill have to check out Kerry's books as I've yet to read them. And it's always fun to compare books; well at least to me. :)
ReplyDeleteHe writes a good mystery! The two I've read have been stand-alones, but he writes a series with a couple of series that I'm going to try. :)
DeleteI am glad you liked this one. I haven't read anything by him before, but this one sounds really good. Especially after reading your thoughts on it.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of him until I received Two Sisters from NetGalley, but evidently he is very popular in the UK. Both of the books I've read have held my attention! :)
