review 1: The story moves back and forth between 3 different times in the story- the beginning before the child is missing, after the child is missing and the trial of the mother of a missing infant. Anyone who has ever traveled on a long flight with an infant will completely relate to the mother at the beginning of this book and really for much of the story after that. There are a few twists in the plot to keep the reader guessing, but over all it seemed vaguely familiar, as though I had read another book with almost the same plot.
review 2: A very intriguing read. Not quite what I'd expected, but in this case that was a good thing. I liked reading the story from different points of view, and was glad that Alistair's wasn't included. Joanna and Alexandra's voices were e... morenough to give overview. Nice twist at the end, as well - very unexpected. I'm actually curious to know more about what happens to the characters after the end, but at the same time, it ended at a good place and adding more probably would have ruined this extremely good novel. less
