Book Review: "Losing You" By Nicci French



"Sometimes I still felt that I had fetched up on the edge of the world." 

Now if you're wondering you're not alone because many of us are still wondering after reading this novel.

In a way missing the ending was probably a time worthy moment as sadly Bibliotheca somehow has that portion obsolete however, it was the preceding storyline and storytelling that didn't do it justice.

Charlie, the 15 yo daughter of Nina is missing from an night out? YES!! Who allows a 15 year old such luxuries especially before going on Christmas break with her family?

Oh, by the way: Nina's boyfriend who has been struck in traffic for what seems like days.

The dog sludge and the relatives are like two peas in a pod and not sure their significance but if you name your dog sludge -well go from there.

Now, you may carry a bit more empathy but the situation is such that Nina is viewed as this mother bear with all the right outfits to accomplish any task that comes her way.

She takes over the procedural issues, the detective work, the hospital care, and so much more that this woman should be downright exhausted by this point.

I just couldn't get into this as much as hoped but perhaps it'll be better suited with the right reader.
