The Forgotten Child by D.E. WhiteMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
The Forgotten Child tells the story of the recently divorced Holly Kendal and her search for answers after an unknown child appears along side her son Milo in the backseat of her car after an accident. Holly has no idea who the child is or how he came to be in the back seat. When the boy awakes in the hospital, there are more questions than answers.
The title and book blurb are a misleading, the story isn’t focused on the child, his identity or his part of the story. The plot of the story isn’t a bad one, it’s just not the story I thought I was reading. The story focuses more on Holly’s past as a “mafia princess” and the other organized crime families she grew up around. Again, not a bad plot, just not what I’m into. The book had diverse character types as far as personalities, intentions, etc but not at all diverse as far as culture, race etc, which made it a bit boring…well, a lot boring. But like I said, the plot was good and the book had potential but it fell flat for me. However, for those who like a little Godfather with their mystery, The Forgotten Child maybe right up their alley.
