Finally Friday - All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker


 I have been on a tear with my library picks.  Winners each time.  All the Colors  of the Dark by Chris Whitaker is unbelievable.  So good!  Twists and turns galore and just when you say," Are you kidding me?", he hits you with another crazy plot point.  

 1975 Monta Clare, MO, girls are disappearing. 

Patch, a local kid missing an  eye becomes a hero  when he saves the richest, prettiest girl  in  town. But he's taken and is tortured, left to die, and then saved by his best friend - a tough girl named Saint.   She never gave up. 

cover blurb - Patch and those who love him soon discover that the line between triumph and tragedy has never been finer. Their search for answers will lead them to truths that could mean  losing one another. 

A missing  person mystery, a serial killer mystery thriller, a love  story, a unique twist on each.  This book  covers what lurks in the shadows of obsession and  the blinding light of hope. 

It all starts in 1975.  It ends in  2001.   Holy Cow  is  all I can say.   The writing, the characters,  the story arc - un-freaking- believable.     

Get this book. Read it.  You are welcome.
