Vanished: Review

Vanished by Karen Robards

My review

Rating: 3 of 5 stars
Some books afford more than a glimpse into their heroine’s life, but this is not one of them. This novel is a carefully contained slice of the tortured existence of a mother who lost her daughter to a kidnapper seven years earlier, and her relationship with her best friend, a man who loves her.

I enjoyed the ‘mystery lite’ story and actually found myself thinking about it when I wasn’t reading, which is unusual… but didn’t appreciate the abrupt ending.

There is nothing remotely fairy tale-ish about the blossoming romance between the two protagonists. Realism is the order of the day, which fits the general tone of the book.

Now I’d like to read more of the author’s work… possibly her early novels.
