The Last Time She Saw Him by Jane Haseldine MYS Has



This was a good mystery which was also a quick read.  The story revolves around Julia Gooden.  At the beginning of the book Julia, a reporter who covers the crime beat, spends a lot of her time trying to protect her young boys - from what?  The evil that she knows is out there.  She and her husband are living apart but both of them are still actively parenting the boys.  Their problem is Julia's obsession with 'protecting' her kids.  David had tried to convince her that the boys were fine and that she needed to let them have a more normal life.  Julia's obsession is because of something that happened 30 years ago.  After a day at Funland (bankrolled with the twenty dollars their absentee father had given them), Julia and her older brother return home to a mother who is passed out.  They go to bed but someone comes in and abducts Ben.  The case is still cold.   Julia is afraid that history could repeat itself.  And on the Labor Day weekend of the 30th anniversary Julia receives a phone call that makes her very uneasy.  And then it happens - her youngest son, Will, is taken from their home.  Are the cases connected????  Read it and find out!
