Island of Lost Girls
While parked at a gas station, Rhonda sees something so incongruously surreal that at first she hardly recognizes it as a crime in progress. She watches, unmoving, as someone dressed in a rabbit costume kidnaps a young girl. Devastated over having done nothing, Rhonda joins the investigation. But the closer she comes to identifying the abductor, the nearer she gets to the troubling truth about another missing child: her best friend, Lizzy, who vanished years before.
From the author of the acclaimed Promise Not to Tell comes a chilling and mesmerizing tale of shattered innocence, guilt, and ultimate redemption.

This book was a little disappointing to me, I give it three stars. I really didn't find any of the main characters very like-able, either as adults or when they were children. The story line was pretty good, I was surprised at the end by who actually committed the crime, there were some hard to believe plot lines for me, though.
Spoiler Alert
I had a hard time believing the main character after witnessing a person dressed in a rabbit outfit take a little girl out of a parked car at a service station, would then just drop everything going on in her life and join the massive manhunt for the child, by manning a phone at the tips outline center at the service station, I would have even found it more believable if she had started to actually look for the girl, by going door to door and searching the area she was kidnapped from, something more active.
This book left me feeling kind of sad and a little glum.
