And Then There Was One by Patricia Gussin

This book hooked me from the very first page. Three sisters (triplets) go to the movies with their babysitter and only one of the triplets comes out. The other two have vanished. As the story progresses there seems to be several red herrings thrown in. Then it becomes apparent that these red herrings are there to describe child predators and molesters which is crucial to the plot. Patricia Gussin does an excellent job of making you feel the horror of having your children missing and the prospect that they may be killed or molested (or both). Her description of child predators is completely accurate. A very good read but it will make you watch your children more carefully.  4 stars
