The Butterfly Girl by Rene Denfeld
3.0
This next installment of the melancholic suspense series about the child finder continues the search for her own family.
The best part of this story is the sensitive attention to a group of homeless children. It’s become difficult to get a grasp on the main character Naomi. She can seem mute and withdrawn or sophisticated and confident at various times. I appreciate the buoyancy of her story as it evolves but the ending is rushed and loose ends tied up too neatly. We’ve invested in these characters so it is necessary to have some time to see how they land.
