One mystery in my personal life would be...my husband had a great uncle who was found walking alongside a railroad track in the middle of a deep forest. The child wore only a diaper and was determined to be younger than three. The family took him in while police searched for family. No one claimed him.
It's a good mystery. He grew up and became a hard worker and good family man. The mystery of who he was or where he came from never solved.(less)

While I enjoyed the read until near the end, the story progresses well and is well-written. But I didn't like how the story ended at all. The premise that the victims must get closure was good until the character completely fails in completing the su ...more

I had a hard time following the plot because the main character was so unlikeable. The author tended to speak about political feelings that were incongruent with the plot and felt forced, taking the reader out of the story. There are too many good bo ...more
