Friday Finds (Dec 18)

December 18, 2009 by Darlene


Friday Finds hosted by Should Be Reading asks us to share what great books we heard about or discovered in the past week.


My pick this week is a book called Lullaby by Claire Seeber. It looks like it’s being re-released by Thomas Dunne Books on January 19, 2010. Here’s a bit about it from Fantastic Fiction…

What should have been a happy family day out quickly becomes a nightmare! The chilling debut from a bright new talent. What should have been a happy family day out quickly turns into a nightmare for Jess Finnegan. One minute she is thankful for a few minutes’ peace away from the demands of motherhood. The next she is frantically searching for husband Mickey and 8-month old Louis.They have disappeared, nowhere to be seen. As the police launch a massive manhunt, Jess’s panic intensifies. Then Mickey is found, badly beaten — and alone. Where is Louis? Is he still alive? Could he be the victim of child trafficking or something much closer to home? Just how well does Jess know her new husband? And when her wayward brother turns up out of the blue, what is he after? As the investigation unravels, Jess discovers that the people closest to you are not always what they seem!

This sounds good to me. I like books like this with terror and mystery woven into the story. How about you – what did you find this week?

    One of the worst thing that happen to any parent is the disappearance of a child. One difficult read but I think I will check it out.

    Here is my Friday Find: The Wrong Miracle by Liz Gallagher.

    When it comes to crime, I can stomach nearly everything, but thrillers with missing babies are so much scarier.

    Have you read Sophie Hannah´s Little Face? (Also a missing baby plot, and a really great thriller).

    This sounds like a heart-pounding of a book. I'll have to look for it when it comes out. Thanks for the heads up, Dar!

    This really does sound familiar for some reason. I mean not the specifics but the overall plot. Hope you enjoy it when it comes out! I discovered Keri Arthur this week. 🙂
