Missing Daughter by Kiersten Modglin
The morning after her birthday party, a three year old is missing. Her mother had a lot to drink the night before, and so did her father, but they locked the doors before going to bed. They're both sure of that. Only Ginny might not be as sure as she thinks she is. She's been having trouble coping since their daughter's birth and leans heavily on her husband to help her manage things.
The plot quickly jumps to events from six months before their little girl went missing. The book is entertaining but I never really liked either of the parents. At times it felt like they were more focused on their own relationship and whether extended family members were reacting the way they wanted them to than they were on the fact that their little girl was gone. They're both making stupid mistakes along the way. I felt like this one was a kind of run of the mill domestic thriller.

Hi Michelle
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to drop you a line to tell you that you have inspired me to start knitting socks! Some time ago you used to blog about your "box box socks" and I was very keen to give it a go. This took me some time to get started but now i have knitted 6 pairs or so. Never could manage tiny pointed needles, so i knit mine on two needles with a seam up one side. Not quite as the experts do, but if works well for me. Thanks again for your inspiration, and i have to ask, do you still knit socks?
Best wishes
