All her life, Sara Gallagher has wondered about her birth parents. As an adopted child with two sisters who were born naturally to her parents, Sara did not have an ideal home life. The question of why she was given up for adoption has always haunted her. Finally, she is ready to take steps and to find closure.
But some questions are better left unanswered.
After months of research, Sara locates her birth mother---only to be met with horror and rejection. Then she discovers the devastating truth: Her mother was the only victim ever to escape a killer who has been hunting women every summer for decades. But Sara soon realizes the only thing worse than finding out about her father is him finding out about her.
What if murder is in your blood?
Never Knowing is a complex and compelling portrayal of one woman’s quest to understand herself, her origins, and her family. That is, if she can survive. . . .
My thoughts
Sara Gallagher has a lot going for her; she’s the mother of a precious 6-year-old, about to be married, and has a thriving restoration business. Being adopted, she dreams of finding her birth parents. Her dreams become determination and she soon finds her birth mother. But discovers that she is possibly the child of a serial murderer known as the Campsite Killer. Somehow this leaks to the press and guess what? The Campsite Killer starts calling her. With the help of the police, she continues to take his calls, so that they can capture him before he kills again.
This novel is a psychological thriller that keeps the reader wondering what will happen next, but most of the story is Sara dealing with the phone calls while trying to keep a secret from her family and trying to keep her daughter and self safe. It builds up to a suspenseful climax with a twist to it.
Disclosure: I received this book for review from the publisher through the Goodreads.com program. I received no compensation for my thoughts.
