Summary of this Book... | ||
This novel was inspired by a real case that happened in the area that I grew up in. Two young sisters disappeared from a shopping plaza in broad daylight, never to be heard from again. This really happened in Maryland in 1975. This book is set in the same year, but in a different county, which is a suburb of Baltimore, insstead of the real life suburb of D.C. After 30 years plus, a lady turns up, claiming to be one of the sisters. A lot has changed in 30 years. This book was a real page turner. I will not give away the ending. In the original case, to my knowledge, no one ever found out what happened to the girls. I think their dad was a local radio personality. It was very sad. About ten years after this happened, I was at a movie at the same shopping center they disappeared from and had a bunch of stuff taken out of my wallet while in the movie. The thief put the wallet back, taking what he/she wanted and charging a bunch of stuff. I didn't notice the credit card missing until the next day. The shopping center where the real crime occurred was called Wheaton Plaza. I think it is called something else now, but it always gives me the creeps. | ||
