 Finished: Good Bad Girls (Feeney) Another good page-turner by Alice Feeney! She keeps you guessing until the end about all the relationships in the story. Twenty years after a baby is stolen out of its baby carriage at a grocery store, we meet a set of characters who we know must somehow be involved in some way with that baby. We meet a girl who could be the baby, who's the same age. Her name is Patience. She has run away from home and works in a care facility for the elderly. One of the elderly people that she meets and really grows attached to is 80-year old Edith. Edith has all her marbles, but her grown children have placed her in the care home after tricking her into signing away the deed to her home. Her daughter Clio is a lonely person, who used to have a husband and child, but lost them both. She still lives in the same house where she lived with them. We also meet Frankie, who's in her late 30's, lives alone on a house boat, and runs the local prison library. Her daughter has run away a year earlier, and she's desperate to find her. When there is a murder at the care home, everything shifts into high gear as all four of the women we've met become suspects. The story then unfolds all its twists and turns, revealing how everyone is related to (or not) everyone else. :-)
