The Point Of Rescue by Sophie Hannah

4.0

I really enjoyed my first Sophie Hannah novel - can't wait to read more of her books! I've recently been reading quite a few thrillers but I think I'm going to tone it down a bit and rebound on chick-lit as they can be quite sad sometimes. As much as I enjoyed this book and didn't want to put it down (as I wanted to know who killed Geraldine and Lucy) I hated to read about Sally when "Mark" kept her prisoner and wanted to get her pregnant with his child. And "Geraldine's" diary entries horrified me - there was a part where she said she wanted to tell infertile women how lucky they were. How can anyone say something like that? I would be devestated if I found out that I couldn't have children; no matter what happens in my life, I would give up everything to get married and have a child. So that particular comment struck home. Anyway, the mystery was really intriguing and the best part of the book (even if parts of the plot were a bit upsetting) but I didn't feel like I really knew any of the characters properly, except for Sally. Overall, 8/10.
