She was no match for a soulless enemy. And still she had to fight. Julia Fleming, a stunningly beautiful and successful business woman, and Wilson Streatfield, a cool and distant research scientist, are the perfect professional couple. Though their marriage lacks passion, for ten years it has served them both well, producing a comfortable home with two cherished children in the care of a loving, trusted nanny. But the practical balance that is Julia's life shatters when her husband makes a startling scientific discovery that promises to revolutionize the world--a breakthrough that a powerful, deadly force will do anything to prevent. First, the long-faithful Wilson suddenly leaves her, seemingly for the arms of another woman. Then, her children mysteriously disappear--taken with the help of those Julia trusted most. Trapped in a terrifying nightmare, Julia must smash the boundaries of her sheltered life and play a game of hunter and prey that could save her family...or destroy them all.
MONDAY'S CHILD is a terrific first suspense novel by Jody Carr. Ms. Carr takes "ordinary" people and places them in extraordinary situations. The characters are so real and complicated that you will feel as if you are experiencing their ordeals with them. I look forward to Ms. Carr's next novel, LOST AND FOUND, due in March 2001. Bravo, Ms. Carr!
Did we read the same book?

I find it difficult to believe that I read the same book as the reviewer above. I thought the dialogue was snappy and terrific, the characters warm and interesting, and the plotting smooth and believable. All told, a great read. I look forward to her next novel.
