Lullaby
In Lullaby, a chilling debut mystery by Claire Seeber, a happy family outing quickly turns into a nightmare for Jess Finnegan. One minute she is strolling through London’s Tate Museum with her new husband, Mickey, and her 8-month-old son, Louis. The next she is frantically searching for them—both are nowhere to be seen. As the police launch a massive manhunt, Mickey is found badly beaten and alone. But where is Louis? Is he still alive? Could he be the victim of child trafficking or something much closer to home? Just how well does Jess know her new husband, and when her wayward brother turns up out of the blue, what is he after? As the investigation unravels, Jess discovers that the people closest to you are not always what they seem.

I just finished reading Lullaby and I don?t understand what all the complaining is about! I found the plot interesting enough to keep me reading and I think the author did a fine job of portraying the roller coaster thoughts and feelings of a mother who is trying to find her missing baby. There are very few British terms or references, and none so obscure that they can?t be figured out in context or, if not, do not affect the plot.

Not a Winner
June 21, 2010
I'm wondering if this book is worth finishing. I'm well into it and am not enjoying it. The British terms are annoying, and although I know it's written by a British woman, it seems like she's trying too hard to use so many British terms. I just don't find her sympathetic. So far the same thing has just gone on and on and on.......

So-So Book
March 23, 2010
If you can get past the british terminology and phrases, (some of which you have to stop reading to make sense of it) it was a so-so book. The story concept was good, but at times it felt a bit dragged out and boring. From the book jacket I was expecting a book that I would not be able to put down, but that was not the case.

Slow and predictable
February 17, 2010
I found this story to be slow, predictable and because of this I found it hard to stay interested. I found that a good portion of the readung could have been left out and would not have been missed as it played no part into the actual story. Occasionally, I like to go out on a limb and try a new authors debut, I have found many great authors this way. This clearly was not one of those times.
