The Lucky One by Lori Rader-Day

I have finished this mystery/thriller novel, and I am still processing some of it.   It is about a 30 something woman, Alice, who was kidnapped when she was 3 years-old.   She has a few memories of the kidnapping and everyone considers her “the lucky one”.  Her father who was a policeman was able to rescue her from the kidnapper quite swiftly and return her to the safety of her home.  However, this experience has left Alice obsessed with missing people/cold cases.  She is part of an online group of people who research missing people and Jane and John Doe cases.   It is while she is on the site that someone posts a picture of a man who has gone missing….this man is easily recognizable to Alice.   He is the man who had kidnapped her all those years ago.

This begins Alice’s quest to track down this man along with two other women in the online group.   They begin to find a paper trail that leads to more unanswered questions than she could have anticipated. And when it turns dangerous, there is nothing left for Alice to do, but keep digging.  Does she really want to learn the truth about what had happened all those years ago?
