Found, Near Water Review

Found, Near Water

By Katherine Hayton 

Rena Sutherland wakes from a coma into a mother’s nightmare. Her daughter is missing – lost for four days – but no one has noticed; no one has complained; no one has been searching. 

As the victim support officer assigned to her case, Christine Emmett puts aside her own problems as she tries to guide Rena through the maelstrom of her daughter’s disappearance. 

A task made harder by an ex-husband desperate for control; a pedophile on early-release in the community; and a psychic who knows more than seems possible. 

And intertwined throughout, the stories of six women; six daughters lost.

***MY HONEST REVIEW OF FOUND NEAR WATER***

Christine runs a small support group for women who have lost a child, her included. One member, Terry, lost her small daughter when her son’s friend molested and killed her. Now Terry informs Christine that the killer has been released after only six years. Then, to make matters worse, Terry seems to be stalking him, believing that he is the one who recently kidnapped another missing girl. Christine is asked to counsel Rena, the missing girl’s mother. When a psychic comes forward with information on her whereabouts, Christine has doubts. But after following her lead, several bodies are discovered, bringing the support group to full circle.

This was a chilling read for sure. Christine was not a very likable person, and was too self-absorbed to be a leader. This support group was unacceptable with her running it. The interaction between Christine and Eric, the detective, was confusing to say the least. The same goes with the friends in the group. It seems like they were erratic and unconnected. I liked the story, but I feel it needs more interaction, or history, between Christine and the other mothers.
