This week, I'm featuring two recent blockbuster novels, with similar themes. As Laura Lippman's victim said, when asked how she was rescued, she almost answered, "I'm not sure I was." That could be the answer in both books. Laura Lippman's I'd Know You Anywhere is about a woman who had been kidnapped when she fifteen, and held hostage for six weeks. When her kidnapper contacts her from death row, she wants to know why he let her live when other girls were killed. I'd Know You Anywhere is one of the best of Lippman's books.
Or you could win Chevy Stevens' debut novel, Still Missing. Annie O'Sullivan was abducted when the thirty-two-year-old realtor was working an open house. Held captive for a year, she relives her experience through sessions with her psychiatrist. That nightmare is entwined with the nightmare that actually followed her escape, as she tries to put her life back together.
