Joy Fielding is another one of my favorite authors. Lost came out in paperback in January 2005. It is about a mother, Cindy, whose 21-year-old daughter, Julia, goes missing. Cindy had already felt that she lost her daughter when Julia moved in her father after the divorce seven years previously. When Julia's father remarried, Julia moved back home with her mother, sister, and sister's boyfriend. An aspiring actress, Julia had been living with her mother again for about a year when she failed to return home after an audition. In the search for her daughter, Cindy realizes how little she really knows about her. Several people in her daughter's life raise red flags--Julia's ex-boyfriend, who wrote a story about a man who brutally murders his ex-girlfriend; their next-door neighbor, who may be having an affair with Julia; even the director for whom she auditioned and her sister's boyfriend, with whom Julia had had an argument the morning she was last seen. Cindy learns disturbing truths about who her daughter really is.
This book is really enjoyable. It's a fast-paced thriller with a twist at the end. Joy Fielding is really good at that; after finishing some books by her I am just stunned for days afterwards by an unexpected twist.
