We Both Liked "The Good Girl" by Mary Kubica and so did our Cats! (UPDATED)
The Good Girl by Mary Kubica is about a young girl named Mia, who is kidnapped by Colin and is to be turned over to other people to be held for ransom. That is the plan, but in life as in this book, things do not always go as planned. What happened? You have to read the book to find out. You will read about Mia’s mom and dad and the detective who will stop at nothing to find her. Mia and Colin have their own story to tell. This is the author’s first novel and a fantastic read with a shocking ending you will not see coming at all! Books do not get much better than this!
(Gerard's review, 8/8/14, 5++ stars)
Karen's review (4 stars):
The Good Girl by Mary Kubica is a book that moves along quickly because of the way it unfolds. Each chapter is written from a different character's perspective and it jumps back and forth between the present and the past, not revealing the big surprise until the very end. (No cheating and looking ahead now!) It is about a wealthy Judge's daughter who is kidnapped and falls in love with her kidnapper! This is a very good read with interesting characters--read it and see if you like the kidnapper. My husband liked him but I didn't. I thought giving the cat an important part in this novel was a nice touch.
