Before her marriage to Carl Gilwood, life for Joyce, a widow, was filled with hardship. Now she can make a new beginning for herself and her young daughter Gail. Now Gail will have a chance to grow up safe in the surburbs . . . Until two girls are reported missing. Until Gail and her friend, playing one summer afternoon in the woods, make a grisly discovery. Then another missing girl is found murdered. The crimes are hideous, the work of a maniac, an irrational killer. His victims could be anybody. So could he. Is he the local wino, or some neighbor hiding behind a façade of respectability? Panic rages. The heat is on Police Chief Frank DAmico to find the killer before another girl dies. The murders go on. With Carl at work all day, Joyce is left to cope alone. And to wonder. Her life is falling apart. Her family is in dangerfrom more than just the murders. Then Gail and her playmate disappear . . .

This review is from: The Girls Are Missing (Paperback)
I read this book in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. I wish I could buy it for my Kindle. I have owned it for years, and read it over and over again.

Can't put it down!,
By
This review is from: The Girls Are Missing (Paperback)
This book was amazing! I'm not usually a big reader, but I read through this one in two days! The story is really good and the author delivers it very well. You just simply can't put it down. And while you're reading it, you're on the edge of your seat the whole time. It's not like one of those little horror flicks where you know who the killer is. It keeps you wondering practically throughout the whole book. Though you may have doubts about who the killer is, you're never quite sure.
