Suspense

WOW!!! GOOD STORY!!! That's one pretty twisted family. It was almost hard to get through, but I'm glad I did. ( )

Two years ago a young child went missing. The body was never found and the mother has spent this time in and out of mental institutions after a suicide attempt. Her family appears supportive but Ava comes to believe that they are all hiding something. She feels her son, hears her son and sometimes even sees her son. Is she loosing her mind or the child still alive? The answer may cost her more than she ever thought she'd have to pay. The relationship of the many characters was sometimes hard to sort out but it was a very good book overall. ( )

Ava Garrison is wealthy, beautiful and married to a handsome attorney. They live with her crazy extended family on Church Island in Washington. When her two year old son, Noah wandered out of the house one day everyone but Ava believes he accidentally drowned. Ava refuses to accept this. She keeps searching for Noah and she hears and sees him everywhere. It appears to everyone that Ava is going insane. Before long dead bodies start to accumulate and and Ava finds herself the target of a police investigation. With the help of a newly hired (and handsome) man on the estate, she tries to prove she’s not crazy and find her son.

This was not my favorite Lisa Jackson book though it had the Gothic feel I enjoy in her books. This one was a bit melodramatic and wandered a bit but I did enjoy it.
