My Review
Billy is an 11-year-old whiz kid, who doesn’t have much time for other people. He lives alone with his Dad who is an avid surfer and also the caretaker of vacation cottages on Lornea. Lornea is an island off the coast of Massachusetts. Billy plans to become an oceanographer and is already working on a project regarding the fiddler crabs in the rockpools near his home. The island is all abuzz regarding the 16-year-old daughter of a vacationing family who disappeared during the summer. Winter is approaching and there have been no clues or leads.
Emily, the local café waitress suggests that Billy could do a better job of finding out what happened to the girl than the local police. That was all Billy needed to inspire him and to turn his and his Dad’s life upside down.
This novel was offered as an Amazon Kindle deal and the synopsis interested me so I took a chance. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The story starts out with a good grab for the reader then it calms a little for a short time. Gradually the suspense grows until it is difficult to put down.
Kudos to Gregg Dunnett, an independent author.
