What Was Lost by Catherine O'Flynn
3.0
This book was a journey sigh. Its only about 200 pages long but feel like it's a bit lengthy. The story is about girl who disappears and what happens 20 years later. The narrative moves across the past, the future and also across the different characters. That maybe a bit confusing initially. But if you trudge along you will finally uncover the truth about Kate's Disappearance.
Kate is 10 years old and she lives with her grandmother. Her parents died. Her dream is to become a private investigator and she runs " Falcon Investigations". Kate loves to hang out at the Green Oak shopping center. She does surveillance of the area every chance she gets. She is convinced that a bank robbery is about to happen. She is also friendly with a 22 year old boy is called Adrian. Then she disappears and was last seen in Green Oak
Twenty years later Kurt, the security guard keep seeing a little girl in the CCTV cameras. He befriends Lisa who is Adrian's sister and a music store manager. Then they both set out on a journey that uncovers a shocking truth.
The ending was good. It was great in fact. They took too long to get there. The writing was dry. Although the plot was good, the story just became too slow and painful.
Read it / Skip it- My verdict- Skip
