What mother would - leave her toddler in the care of her severely developmentally delayed* four-year-old to play on the beach while a storm is rolling in? - let a four-year-old and a sixteen-months old watch "The Goonies"? - take her children in the car without a booster seat? - call her kid in missing to the police within _ten minutes_ of her losing sight of him? *for which arrested development Ginger conveniently blames her husband's "disappearing act", which we later learn happened all of four weeks before the events. Or maybe six months, the author is a bit hazy on the timeline. Overall, the whole story did not make much sense to me. Things just seemed to happen without rhyme or reason, e.g.: - Rick's going from being "excited about his second son", in a leap and a bound, to being "unable or unwilling to take the responsibility" - How can Ginger, raised "dirt-poor" and later on left "high and dry" by her husband to be a single parent not being able to pay her taxes and therefore losing her family home, scrape together the funds to buy a new house? - What was the real estate shark all about, who always lurked in the background, but, as far as I could make out (in fairness, I started skimming after chapter 3) never put in an actual appearance? All in all, I found this a weird, illogical, and, ultimately, boring read.

Would you destroy your best friend to save your husband...if he's done the unspeakable? Ginger Mallowan embodies everything the 1980s stand for, from big hair to power suits to "Material Girl"...until her son disappears during a beach walk one night. That's the moment girls don't want to have fun anymore, and the moment she starts hunting for answers. Now Ginger's hair is a bit flatter, her power suits packed into the attic, and her dance steps to Madonna lack the energy of better days. She hasn't found--or forgotten--her missing son, and she's only survived the grief thanks to her neighbor and keeper of secrets, Tara Christie. Except for Ginger's darkest secret of all...about what happened the night her son disappeared. But that vow of friendship is tested when Tara is jarred awake one night by a scream coming from next-door, where she finds Ginger standing over a dead body. Even stranger, Tara's husband is nowhere to be found. As the investigation shakes the town to its core, and Tara's husband is arrested for the murder, Tara must choose between proving her husband's innocence or protecting Ginger's past. Little does she know they're about to stumble down a twisty path that could destroy them all. A gripping psychological thriller that is at once a chilling murder mystery, a heartbreaking family drama, and an ode to the bond of friendship. Scroll up and one-click to uncover the mysterious link between a missing boy and a dead body, four decades apart. Praise for Pamela Crane: "It kept me on my toes the whole time I was reading it and trying to guess the twisty ending of what really happened. Fans of thrillers, suspense, and mystery novels will not be disappointed with this book." - San Francisco Book Review "You are not prepared for the twists...Pamela Crane has in store for you. Sure to have you at the edge of your seat." - POPSUGAR "Crane succeeds at painting families and friendships in vivid detail; women will see their tussles and triumphs in these pages, and will relish the twists and moments of brave camaraderie and bold revenge." - Booklist Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The book centers on neighbors Ginger and Tara, and their families. Heartbreak and secrets abound. The plot doesn’t quite make sense. Not to spoil anything, but I had a hard time believing certain things would go unnoticed in such a small town.
I was tempted to put the book down without finishing, but I received it through LT Early Reviewers and needed to provide an honest review. So I stayed with it, and did have several mysteries cleared up by the end. There is a sequel, but I’m not anxious to spend any more time in this town with these characters. (
