"Three little girls go to a movie -- but only one comes home. Can this family survive?"

Fresh Fiction Review

And Then There Was One

Reviewed by Morgan Chilson
Posted September 9, 2010

Thriller Crime

Inseparable triplets Jackie, Sammie and Alex go to a movie. But while there, Sammie and Alex disappear, leaving Jackie and her parents frantic for their safe return.

As the FBI delves into every aspect of their family life, parents Scott and Katie struggle not to fall apart, scared every moment about what is happening to their daughters. Jackie faces survivor's guilt and overwhelming fear.

Although this book is, of course, focused on what has happened to Sammie and Alex, the real story that draws the reader in are the reactions of Jackie and her parents. The devastation and fear surrounding missing children will touch even people who aren't parents, creating tension as the reader waits to see if this family will face the worst life can offer.

SUMMARY

One is the loneliest number.

Nine years ago, Katie and Scott Monroe were blessed beyond their wildest dreams with identical triplets, Sammie, Alex and Jackie. Three beautiful daughters and two adoring parents formed the picture-perfect party of five. But this tight-knit family unravels when the three little girls go to see a movie, but only one emerges from the darkness of the theatre. How could Sammie and Alex vanish without a trace?

Plunged into the abyss of a parent's worst fear, Katie and Scott hang by a thread - waiting, worrying, not knowing, and confronting the terrifying realization that the kidnapping may not have been a random act.

Who took Sammie and Alex? Why? Where are they? When will they be found? And what if they're never found, or not found alive? When Jackie, the remaining triplet, crumbles under the weight of grief and survivor's guilt, Katie and Scott struggle to hold out hope and hold on to what remains of their family.

Until - or unless - Sammie and Alex are found safe, this picture-perfect family can't be put back together again.
