Suspense is a Good Thing

Cemetery Girl by David Bell

What I like about David Bell is that his books start where most books just start to get good. He tells what happens after the climax, and I like that.

Four years ago, Tom and Abby's daughter, Caitlin, went missing while walking the family dog. Caitlin was twelve at the time. Over the course of those four years, Tom and Abby's marriage has fallen apart. Tom is still relentlessly searching for Caitlin, and Abby thinks it's time to move on.

After a new lead pops up, Caitlin is suddenly found. The problem is, she doesn't want to talk about what happened over those four years she was gone, and she doesn't want the kidnapper to be prosecuted. All of this is tough for Tom. He wants to know what happened to his daughter, and wants to see the perpetrator pay for his crimes. He knows it won't necessarily change things, but he wants the person to pay for the time he took Caitlin away.

Will Tom turn vigilante to get what he wants, or will he let Caitlin have things her way?

This was such a good read! I can't wait to see what else Mr. Bell has out there.
