review 1: This story of two mothers searching for their lost sons, started out with promise. The premise was interesting and the mystery intriguing. But, once the mystery is solved, the book devolves into a strange and maudlin character study. The relationship between the two mothers which was strange and annoying but tolerable at the beginning becomes grating toward the end. The characters are thinly drawn and stereotypical. Feels like a freshman book. Good but could have been stronger.
review 2: I enjoyed reading THE MISSING PLACE. I liked the mystery element and I liked the interaction between uptight Colleen and laid back Shay. I'll look for the rest of Sophie Littlefield's books based on how much I loved THE MISSING PLACE. Once I started reading, I was so in
... morevested in these two moms that I was turning the pages like a mad woman. I just had to know what happened to these two boys. Sophie Littlefield doesn’t pull any punches in her writing. Brutal and honest, this is a disturbing tale of what a mother will do to protect her child. As a mother myself, I can not imagine what I would feel like if this was my child that had gone missing. less
