BOOK SYNOPSIS:
They are the perfect family. But perfection is fragile.
Cal Hudson knows the world can be an ugly place. As a reporter for a big Chicago newspaper, Cal has journeyed into society’s darkest corners to expose the vilest crimes. But the world he and his devoted wife, Faith, share with their son is much nicer. They have made sure of it, creating a tranquil haven in suburban River Ridge to protect the person most precious to them.
Until the unthinkable happens, and nine-year-old Gage vanishes.
In a split second at a local carnival, the Hudsons’ storybook world begins unraveling. A frantic search starts to uncover splinters in their carefully crafted facade, revealing buried secrets that cast just as much suspicion on Cal and Faith as any ill-meaning stranger, and proving that the line between love and violence can disappear as suddenly as a child on a chaotic midway.
REVIEW:
As a parent this is the worst of nightmares. Your child is missing and you need to contact the FBI for help. So many kids so missing a year that it could happen to anyone.
Mofina is one of my go to authors for suspense. And in this book he is at his best. I enjoyed all the characters. I enjoyed how real it was even though you know it is fiction. But knowing this could happen to anyone makes you pay closer attention to how the case is handled.
I will warn you though the book is LONG. More than 500 pages. But the good part is Mofina puts so many twist and turns and it is written with a flow that makes it a pretty quick read for so many pages.
This book and Rick Mofina is a most read.
