I very much enjoyed The Girl in the Red Coat by Kate Hamer which is set in England and America. Eight-year-old Carmel, is abducted when she becomes separated from her mother, Beth, while at a festival. Carmel is taken by a lay preacher who tells her he is her grandfather. The deception is cold and calculated. Beth is a single mother who adored her little girl and blames herself for losing her child. The story is well told with alternate chapters narrated by Beth and Carmel. The reader is mesmerized by the story and anxious to get to the end, but not wanting to stop reading the story. I love these sort of books. 5/5
