Boy, 9, Missing
Boy, 9, Missing | Nic Joseph
11 posts | 9 read | 10 to read
In the tradition of Defending Jacob or Drowning Ruth, this is a suspenseful debut that explores the ramifications of revenge, justice, and the aftermath of a terrible night in the lives of two families. It should have been just a quiet evening with friends. But Francis lost his brother that night in what was ruled a tragic accident. He's tried to move on in the last twenty-three years, even though his father certainly hasn't. Indeed, his father still blames the lone witness, Sam, the nine-year-old son of friends. Perhaps if Sam would have just said something, anything, about what happened that night, but Sam still seems unable-or unwilling-to utter a word about the accident. And now, twenty-three years later, Sam's own nine-year-old son has disappeared.

Hmm. A compelling premise but the execution was a little lacking in my opinion. I felt it lacked emotional depth for a plot about bad things happening to children, and there also seemed like there was gratuitous violence.

CSeydel That‘s interesting, because I felt similarly about “Defending Jacob” (which the blurb compares this book to). 3y

It was an interesting read. I tried predicting some things and I was wrong about one or 2. The plot was interesting but didn‘t see the ending coming.

I loved the author‘s second novel, which I found first. So I‘m excited to dive into this one.

I seriously couldn‘t put it down. Many twists and turns that were unpredictable. It was a fast read and just what I needed today. Fun! 4🌟

A decent debut book for the author. All the main characters in the book could have done the crime, so it was interesting to watch things play out. 3.5 stars.
