  2.0 out of 5 stars Ho Hum

  Reviewed in Canada on July 31, 2002

  This was a quick afternoon's beach read--I may not have finished it if I had packed another book to read. No great literary value here-- in fact, the story had a lot of holes in it, so I was forced to use my imagination.
  In Bangor, Maine, on the night of her high school graduation in 1986, Jennifer Pelletier, Kathryn Campbell's best (she thought) friend, just disappeared from the face of the earth. She walked away from a bonfire and was never seen again.
  Ten years later, a few weeks before their class reunion, Kathryn, recently divorced, returns to her mother's home in Bangor. She is still haunted by Jennifer's disappearance with its lack of closure and begins to write an article for the local paper, resurrecting the case in the eyes of the town and those who knew the missing girl.
  I DID learn one thing from this book: the meaning of "desire lines". This means the trail through woods or brush, often barely discernible, showing that someone else has walked there before. It is a term used in orienteering and hiking.
