The Lost Boys by Faye Kellerman is one of the slowest, most boring and dissatisfying books I've ever read. This is about several police investigations--(1) a 10 yr. old missing persons case, (2) a current missing person case involving Bertram, a man with Down Syndrome (3) a possible murder case related to Bertram. As if three story lines aren't enough, there is also the drama with the detective's foster son's biological mom and dad, an assassin. The primary story line is the cold case of three missing college boys who went camping together and never returned.
First off, I kept dozing off while reading the first half of this book. I felt like it kept leaving the main story to go down different rabbit trails. The conversation seemed stilted between characters that seemed just blah to me. I was ready to quit on this one but since I made it halfway and it started to pick up a bit, I decided to go ahead and finish. That was a mistake because after continuing to plow on through, the ending was very unsatisfying. Only one case was actually solved--the others just left you hanging. Maybe it's just me, but I like a book that actually has an ending to it. I would not recommend this one. (Karen's review, 1 star)
