From Publishers Weekly

The stolen child plot has become a popular category in the thriller genre. Mooney (Deviant Ways; World Without End) takes the basic scenario and adds a few clever twists before serving up a rather pallid solution. Mike Sullivan's wife, Jess, is an overprotective mother, afraid to let six-year-old Sarah go with Mike to the Hill, the sledding slope of choice in Belham, Mass. Mike has a beer and takes her anyway, joining up at the Hill with pal Bill O'Malley and his daughter Paula. Then the unthinkable happens. Sarah heads up the hill with Paula, but never comes down, and Mike finds her sled and glasses buried in the snow. "The flutter turned into a cold, hard lump that knocked against the walls of his heart. He stumbled to his feet, a scream rising in his throat: 'Sarah, where are you?' " For the next five years, he searches for his daughter, convinced that defrocked priest Francis Jonah is responsible for Sarah's disappearance. Jonah is still living in town, free because the police don't have enough evidence to arrest him. Mike's marriage fails after he's arrested for beating up Jonah. He stays out of jail, but has to quit drinking, attend anger-management counseling and submit to urine and Breathalyzer tests every time his probation officer wants to yank his chain. Mike has other problems: a mother who abandoned him, a criminal father and an old romance, all of which are woven into the story. The built-in tension of the basic missing child plot is enough to carry most readers through, but the end feels rushed and threads are left dangling.

Review

Dennis Lehane

New York Times bestselling author of Mystic River

At the core of this gut-wrenching thriller is something rare: a thoughtful, poignant examination of parental love and parental folly. Chris Mooney has written his finest novel, and that's saying something indeed.

Harlan Coben

New York Times bestselling author of No Second Chance

Remembering Sarah is harrowing, gripping, haunting, gut-wrenching, beautifully written, and one of the best thrillers -- maybe the best -- I've read this year.

John Connolly

New York Times bestselling author of Bad Men

Chris Mooney has taken every parent's worse fear -- the disappearance of a child -- and used it to create one of the best thrillers of the year. Never exploitative, always gripping, Remembering Sarah is a moving exploration of remembered loss and undying hope that should catapult its author to the forefront of the new generation of thriller writers.

Larry Brooks

author of Serpent's Dance

Remembering Sarah is a masterful journey into the dark regions of the heart, with carefully drawn characters, biting dialogue, and a plot that's as smooth and strong as fine liquor. You won't be able to tear yourself away from this gripping, moving, and wildly successful thriller. I loved it. A home run on every level.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Haunting., Juil 14 2004
Par Henry W. Wagner (Rockaway, NJ USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Remembering Sarah (Hardcover)
Six and a half year old Sarah Sullivan is the focal point of many an argument between Jess, her overly protective mother, and Mike, her overly demanding father. Fiercely independent, the little girl leans towards her father in these battles, which is why she's overjoyed to learn that Mike is taking her sledding despite Jess' fears. The outing turns tragic, however, as Sarah is kidnapped shortly after Mike and she arrive at the sledding area. After the first frantic weeks, it becomes apparent that Sarah won't be coming back.

Remembering Sarah sports a compelling premise enhanced by the presence of an equally compelling, emotionally tortured central character, Mike Sullivan. In addition to confronting a parent's worst nightmare, Mike is forced to face his own human frailties, and to reevaluate his basic assumptions about the world he inhabits. This slow, tortuous process almost destroys him, yet, in the end, proves his redemption, giving him the strength to face the stunning truths revealed to him over the course of the novel.

Successfully combining elements of Jacquelyn Mitchard's The Deep End of the Ocean and Dennis Lehane's Mystic River, the novel examines the bonds and responsibilities of marriage, parenthood and friendship, and the wounds people inflict on one another, both intentionally and unintentionally. In the end, Mooney seems to suggest, it is how the offended party deals with those wounds that determines the course their lives will take. Recovery is possible, but sometimes only through a superhuman act of acceptance, and through a willingness to see things as they truly are.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A stunning tale of a father's woe, Jui 29 2004
Par David Montgomery "Book Critic" (davidjmontgomery.com) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Remembering Sarah (Hardcover)
Chris Mooney has produced three books over the past few years, most recently the stunning Remembering Sarah. The plot, about a father's suffering when his young daughter goes missing, is familiar, but Mooney takes the execution of the story to a new level.

Not only has he created some vividly drawn, multidimensional characters and placed them in an intriguing story, he also succeeds in making the reader care about his creations. Our hearts ache for this devastated father, not just because of the drama of his plight, but also for his quiet desperation and persistence.

Mooney's work is dark and desperate, but filled with genuine human emotion, sympathetic characters and intriguing plots. Remembering Sarah is his best book yet and is sure to bring this gifted writer to a much larger audience -- exactly what he deserves.(...)
