Just What Kind Of Mother Are You? by Paula Daly:
He arrives with time to spare. Reverse-parking, he gets out and the cold hits him. Slapping him hard in the face and stinging his skin. He smells good. Expensive.
Book Description:
She's gone and it's your fault. You were supposed to be watching your best friend's 13-year-old daughter, and now she's missing.
But
you know she's not just missing - she's been taken. Because Lucinda is
the second girl to be abducted within a fortnight. And the first was
found on a busy high street, naked and severely traumatised. No one expects the next to be so lucky.
You're going to have to figure this out - who did it. Because if you don't, then Lucinda will be next. And you'll never forgive yourself.

Oh wow, this sounds pretty intense. I loved the description of the cold hitting the dude in the the Beginning! The cold can be a slap in the face, especially when you've just woken up! Thanks for sharing :) I hope you have an amazing weekend!

Sounds Exciting. Here is my post: Mixed Book Bag
ReplyDeleteThe opening drew me in and made me wonder where the story is taking place. I like the author's use of the senses in the description--his "expensive" smell and the smack of cold.
