Girl Who Was Taken 90%

Nice twist--I didn't have the right murderer, but I did get him with about 25% left.  Very exciting for a time as Megan unravels what she has suppressed from her captivity and Donlea feeds us (carefully) the missing pieces of the narrative.  Now that the murderer/rapist has been uncovered, the final confrontations await.  I thought Nicole might be alive . . . doesn't look like it. Livia and Megan in the cellar; Megan's father one of the police notified of the 911 call. 

He doesn't exactly fit the profile of the loner without love, but Donlea did a nice job of presenting him as being just a little too unhappy that his daughter is going to Duke and not staying at home and going to Elizabeth State. What father doesn't want his daughter to go to a great school?  Only one who is a bit suspect.

He became one of the most influential and admired British generals after a series of successes in Canada, West Africa, and Egypt, followed by a central role in modernizing the British Army in promoting efficiency. He served in Burma, the  Crimean War , the  Indian Mutiny , China, Canada and widely throughout Africa—including his  Ashanti  campaign (18...
