Oh, this sounds really good. I have only read one of Mary Kubica book but I did enjoy it. I already want to know what happened to Delilah.
ReplyDeleteI need to try some of her backlist. Yes, I wanted to know that too!
DeleteSounds like a nice cozy mystery. I haven't tried this author yet, however.
ReplyDeleteNot so cozy, a bit horrifying especially being a parent! It's my first time reading her, but I wouldn't mind trying one from her back list.
DeleteI'm intrigued seeing the way this one packed a punch for you.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it would affect most like it did me, but for some reason this one really got to me.
DeleteSome books do break your heart a little, don't they?
ReplyDeleteFor sure! And I need to keep telling myself this is only fiction, yet I think things like this happen so often in real life and that's what's so tragic.
DeleteI'm sure I'd enjoy reading this one. Wonderful review. I have a different Kubica book but I've never read this author.

I'd like to try one from her backlist. Thanks, Anne!
DeleteI read earlier books by Kubica and really liked them. Sorry this wasn't a home run for you
ReplyDeleteThe story itself is really good, I think it's more the mood I was left with when I finished. My emotional reaction to the story. I guess I let fiction get to me too much sometimes, but that is the sign of good writing, isn't it?
DeleteThis sounds like a tough read - emotionally. And it's hard to say it's "just fiction" when it happens in real life, too.
ReplyDeleteThat's very true. I never really thought of it like that, but it helps justify my strong reactions. I'll take it, lol. :)
DeleteI should try a Kubica book
ReplyDeleteI am happy to see you enjoyed it.
