Review: Above average mystery/psychological thriller

When Maudie was ten years old, her best friend Jessica disappeared. Now over twenty years later, Maudie returns to her childhood home to bury her father and she sees Jessica. Or does she? She has a history of psychiatric problems, is she seeing things? Her husband already treats her like a fragile psych patient, so she can't talk to him. Is Jessica real?LOST GIRLS, part mystery, part psychological thriller, is well written and kept my interest. It wasn't good enough to stay up past my bedtime, reading past midnight, but this is definitely an above average novel. Narrated by Maudie, writer Celina Grace did a good job relaying the story with an unreliable narrator. Maudie's character, however was weak and whiny, so she was hard for me to embrace fully.
