Abduction - Wanda Dyson
Finished 5/30/05:
Karan loaned this book to me before I left for Dallas; I started it at Seatac, and finished it up in the San Francisco airport on my way back. It was an enjoyable read, but not a very memorable book. It's Christian fiction, but not overtly so... at least, I think it could be enjoyed by a wider audience. And I really appreciate the fact that while she wrote a suspense/thriller story of a serial killer, she left the gore and violent details to be filled in by the imagination.
Abduction follows the stories of Karen, the flutter brained mother whose infant child was stolen from her crib, the psychic Zoe whose powers enable her to find the bodies of missing children, and the handsome police detective Josiah Johnson, or JJ as he prefers to be called. A number of little girls have been disappearing without a trace, and JJ reluctantly resorts to consulting Zoe's powers when the police are unable to produce any leads. Under the influence of her Christian neighbor, Karen refuses to allow the psychic to help find her missing daughter, and becomes herself a chief suspect in the case.
Not really one of my favorite genres, but as I got caught up in the suspense and twisting plot lines I finished the 300-something-pages in five or six hours. If you enjoy suspense but dislike the usual gore of serial killer stories, I'd highly recommend this book. Or perhaps if you're looking for something to take on a lengthy flight... :)
