Reason for reading: It's a re-read that I grabbed off the TBR pile
Blurb (from back cover): "Step into another time-and unforgettable terror. The year is 1896. The City is New York. The hunt is on for a baffling new kind of criminal...a serial killer."
Opinion: I had read this book several years ago and enjoyed. This is one of the few books that I'll re-read. It covers a complete investigation and deals with early forensics.

It Only Takes a Moment by Mary Jane Clark
Started: 8/26/08
Finished: 8/31/08
Year: 2008
Pages: 341
Genre: Suspense
Grade: B
Reason for reading: review for MyShelf
Blurb (from book jacket): "Eliza Blake, host of the top-rated KEY News morning show, has witnessed tragedy and danger in her career. But nothing the accomplished professional has experienced has prepared her for when her seven-year-old daugher, Janie, is snatched from summer camp. The country's viewers are glued to their television sets, anxiously awaiting the news that their favorite morning-television personality's little girl has been found.
"With each passing day, the FBI and local authorities track down every lead: A profile of the kidnapper's most likely characteristics is developed, every fan letter written to Eliza over the last six months is scrutinized, every sex offender registered within a fifty-mile radius is interviewed, and psychics from around the country appear on Eliza's doorstep offering their help.
"But Eliza isn't going to sit around and wait for answers. She and the rest of the Sunrise Suspense Society-brilliant produce Annabell Murphy, cameraman extraordinaire B. J. D'Elia, and psychiatrist Dr. Margo Gonzalez-will band together to outwit a cunning criminal whose shocking motives threaten to snuff out a terrified little girl's life."
Opinion: I enjoyed this quick read. She writes short chapters like James Patterson so the book moves very quickly. For a more complete review, check out MyShelf in the upcoming months.
