Anyway, just recently I read one of Jacquelyn Mitchard's first novels The Deep End of the Ocean and I was very impressed. She is a magnificent writer and has you glued from the first page until the last with this heartbreaking story of a family that is torn apart when their young son is kidnapped. I won't reveal the plot because it would spoil the surprise that you will surely feel when the book takes an unexpected turn about half-way through, but I will say that it is well worth reading. And I now feel pleased that a writer of such quality would take the trouble to telephone me, even if it was in the middle of the night.
