Judas Child
4 Stars

Sharply drawn characters that evoke strong emotions. A well developed and thought provoking plot with an interesting twist at the end. A great read. ( )

Veramente bello il colpo di scena finale è fantastico ( )

She has a way of getting into a character's head that just gets to me. Even when you shouldn't like them.
Engrossing right up to the end. ( )

Several days before Christmas, in a small, bucolic, tightly knit town, two ten year old girls, best friends, Sadie Green and Gwen Hubble, suddenly disappear. One of the local cops, Rouge Kendall, becomes involved in the investigation and manhunt that ensues. The case calls to mind his own brush with a madman, when fifteen years earlier his own ten year old, twin sister, Susan, had likewise been abducted. She was found murdered on Christmas Day, and his family never fully recovered from the blow they were dealt by Susan's untimely and grisly death.

Carol O'Connell's adult characters are well drawn and sympathetic, but the little girls steal the show. Be warned--you will be late for work, stay up past your bedtime, let dinner burn on the stove, just to find out what happens to these engaging children. The tension is sometimes almost painful, but delicious at the same time. I thought I knew where the story was headed and how it was going to finish but, as it turned out, I was so far off base. It's pleasing to find a story that can continue to provoke thought long after you've closed it on the last page. ( )

Enjoyable mystery even if it is a dark topic. For some reason I had trouble keeping up with all of the character names, though. ( )

This book is dedicated to the memory of Michael Abney, a talented Arizona photographer and a good friend from my student days. Over many a beer, I gave him useful insights on women. However, Mike's reciprocal information about men turned out to be pure gender bragging, for the true prince was not a common occurrence in nature, but a rare one -- and I miss him.
