I've finished The Cry now. Quite a difficult read in places but very well written and saved from being too grim by the perspective of the baby's father's ex-wife and some black humour. The plot twists and turns unexpectedly. I'm glad that I stuck with it.
I'm now reading something much lighter, The Big Over Easy by Jasper Fforde, the first in the Nursery Crymes series.
Im now 50% in on The Cry now, couldnt put it down last night.
At points though I nearly gave up and it is quite disturbing in places but i am enjoying reading the ex wife's section the most and the daughter.
Strange that they thought this would be a possible solution to the problems.
Did you get shades of McCann from it?

I think that the reasoning for their solution becomes clearer as the book progresses, but it's still strange. The plot did put me in mind of the McCanns and also the Lindy Chamberlain case. Let me know what you think of the ending.
I have just discovered Tamar Cohen. Excellent writer three books so far first one "The mistresses Revenge", loved it kept me reading until the wee small hours.
Finished " Red Card Roy" .. the colourful tale of striker/centerhalf Roy McDonough .. mainly drinking and womanising + a few footy matches in between!. Much better than the sterile autobiogs you get from your Beckhams and Giggses

Ive finished the book now! The ending,
you're left a bit hanging, was it her, was it him?
Really glad i continued with it, but it is quite sad when you think of noah
Glad you enjoyed it and that I didn't put you off reading it!
I think that the father was the guilty party. She wasn't exactly mother of the year though! He was good at manipulating both Joanna and Alexandra and making them feel inadequate.
Just about to start that as it was on offer for Kindle.
just finished The Univited by Liz jensen. very good, never heard of her before but clealry she's written loads, may try some more
Had a bit of a charity shop spree over the weekend and am going to give the Inspector Montalbano books a go, starting with The Shape of Water, then on to a couple of Bryant and May mysteries by Christopher Fowler

I agree
When i finished it, I did think it was Joanna as Alistair was just a pure manipulater and liar then i started reading the reviews on amazon...
but overall a good book.
I have given up on Christopher Ransom and have now started Jane Casey - Left for Dead
