Everybody knows Everybody in The Hollows. A rebellious girlfriend of Maggies son disappears and her husband Jones becomes chief investigator. Questioning a past girl disappearance. Brilliantly plotted witnlh psychological insite ( )
Hmm. Back in February I gave this four stars but didn't write a review. It's only July and I can't remember one damn thing about this book, so I am deducting a star. It doesn't belong so high on my list if it made such a fleeting impression!
I thought this was a decent read - interesting but inconsistent. Someone said they found it meandering and I have to agree. There were tense moments and then long, slow moving scenes between. I think it would have been tighter with better editing - a pet peeve of mine. This was the second book by this author that I have read and I enjoyed the other book much more so I will still look for more by her. ( )
You have a small town, Maggie, a psychologist and wife to the police detective. Their classmates in high school all with their untold secret related to a missing teen. Now as adults, another missing teen and another generation. I can't say the story held my interest. I can say the prologue was intriguing. ( )

For my parents,
Joe and Virgina Miscione
We never understand what it means to be a parent
until we are parents outselves.
I love you, Mom and Dad.
Thanks for everything . . . then and now.

Prologue: When Jones Cooper was younger, he didn't believe in mistakes.
The sound of the screen door slamming never failed to cause a happy lift in her heart that was immediately followed by a sinking, the opening of a small empty place.
