It is funny how the one time you see everybody with books in the train and other times it seems no one has a book. But with my last transfer I got lucky. Someone took a fresh new book from a bag. Took his time to read the synopsis so I had enough time to decipher the name of the author on the front. Michael Robotham... never heard of him but the book looked like a thriller so my curiosity grew.
Back home I looked him up on Goodreads to find out he has written several thrillers already and that they have a pretty good rating actually. So the guy bough Say You're Sorry which is the 6th book in a series.
When pretty and popular teenagers Piper Hadley and Tash McBain disappear one Sunday morning, the investigation captivates a nation but the girls are never found.
Three years later, during the worst blizzard in a century, a husband and wife are brutally killed in the farmhouse where Tash McBain once lived. A suspect is in custody, a troubled young man who can hear voices and claims that he saw a girl that night being chased by a snowman.
Convinced that Piper or Tash might still be alive, clinical psychologist Joe O'Loughlin and ex-cop Vincent Ruiz, persuade the police to re-open the investigation. But they are racing against time to save the girls from someone with an evil, calculating and twisted mind...
After reading all this I am actually very curious about this author and I have added the first book of this series to my "To Read" shelf. I do not like to start halfway a series. All his books sound really intriguing. What I liked a lot about "Say You're Sorry" too is the cover. The lady in red running trough snow leaving the trail. There is a lot of symbolism in there.
Do you peek what other people read in the train or other public transport, parks, lunchtables?
