This book is only for dedicated fans of Kelman. Most others will find it too difficult to suspend belief and accept her improbable and outlandish plot -- that a teacher would commit a crime and kidnap a child to return to whom she THINKS is his family -- based on nothing more than a hunch and internet research.

***SPOILER ALERT***

The fact the book winds up the ending abruptly and carelessly (the woman suffers no legal or other consequences for her well-intentioned but irresponsible and baseless assumptions) should make every parent angry.
