lbgandhi 's review for:
The Nowhere Child
by Christian White
I want to start my review off with a warning - when you pick this book up to read, just go ahead and block off the rest of your day or weekend because you won't be able to put it down!!!!
I had read some early reviews on this book that caught my attention and the description of the book intrigued me. And this book did not disappoint at all. It grabs hold of you pretty quickly and you just have to keep reading to find out what happens and why it happens. There are a lot of psychological thrillers out there. There are a lot of books around child abductions out there. There are tons that are a combination of two. And then there is this book - The Nowhere Child. The author puts a spin unlike one I've read in this genre before. An interesting, very clever spin. And on top of that, he throws out curve balls to keep you just slightly off your guessing game in figuring out this riddle. It's not as clear cut as you may think in the beginning. I thoroughly enjoyed trying to solve the mystery of who took Sammy Went and why.
What I think impressed me the most is that this book is the authors debut novel. I can't wait to see what is next in the pipeline for Christian White!!!! This is a novel to read and an author to keep your eyes on.
My thanks to Christian White, St. Martin's Press and Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
