Book Reviews of Island of Lost Girls: A Novel
Book Review: Hard to put down
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those books that is hard to put down once you get a few chapters into it. I found myself saying to myself putting off things I really should have been doing with promises to read just one more chapter.
There are two stories here. One is the present day disappearance of a little girl who is, strangely enough, kidnapped by someone in a rabbit costume. The other story concerns the childhood disappearance of Rhonda's best friend.
The chapters alternate between the present day and the past, as Rhonda works to solve the mystery of the kidnapped girl and tries to piece together the mysterious events of her childhood and realizes that it's possible the two events are related.
I'm not going to give anything away but will only say there are enough twists and turns to make this a thorougly enjoyable mystery.
Summary of Island of Lost Girls: A Novel
While parked at a gas station, Rhonda sees something so incongruously surreal that at first she hardly recognizes it as a crime in progress. She watches, unmoving, as someone dressed in a rabbit costume kidnaps a young girl. Devastated over having done nothing, Rhonda joins the investigation. But the closer she comes to identifying the abductor, the nearer she gets to the troubling truth about another missing child: her best friend, Lizzy, who vanished years before.
From the author of the acclaimed Promise Not to Tell comes a chilling and mesmerizing tale of shattered innocence, guilt, and ultimate redemption.
