`The Abduction of Lilly Waters' by T. M. Novak is her first foray into what I think of as `Chick Mystery' story telling in the spirit of Sue Grafton, Sandra Brown and perhaps the latest collaboration of Janet Evanovich.  And, while there is a maternal importance, author Novak provides more, as she alternates from maternal to paternal points of view that connect with this reviewer. This mystery is about relationships, frustrated cops, and survival of `The Innocents'. By this Five-Star review, I am appreciating and encouraging T. M. Novak to take on the difficult social issues of, and for example, child abduction in what I believe is an enlightening and responsible manner of entertainment.This reviewer's interest also developed as Novak injects and commingles the realism of mom-talk, baby talk, and cop talk, thus avoiding the mere suggestive. Novak puts the reader right in the midst of the story developing around the complicated interaction between the distraught mother Beth, her daughter Lilly, and those of law enforcement charged with protecting both of `The Innocents'. At once together, at once apart, this storytelling draws the reader to be interested, and to want to know more throughout this edgy Chick Mystery.This eBook was reviewed pre-release by G Mitchell Baker, Author of "The Involvement of Emerson" (2012), "Lethal Believers: The Innocents" (2013), and "Lethal Believers: DVM" (2013). Reviewer G Mitchell Baker was provided an Advanced Reviewer's Copy of the manuscript for `The Abduction of Lilly Waters' and has received no consideration for publishing this review. This reviewer gladly purchased this book for his Kindle. GMB
