(120) Fragile by Lisa Unger

Tuesday, August 10, 2010

I love small town mysteries. The kind of charming little "picturesque" town where everybody knows everybody and their histories are intertwined.

Fragile is just that kind of mystery. Jones and Maggie Cooper have lived in The Hollows their whole lives. They are raising their teenage son there, Maggie is a psychiatrist and Jones is on the Police force. They are awakened in the middle of the night by the mother of their son's girlfriend. She has gone missing. Jones & Maggie frantically try to find the girl and keep their son safe from the accusations that they know are coming.

I really like Lisa Unger's style of writing. She pulls her readers into the story and make them feel part of the story, keeping us on edge without causing heart failure. A great mystery without getting to gritty or gory. A bit unusual to find such a story in a genre full of high body counts.
