I work in an amusement park. It’s fun for the most part, even with the long hours and cranky customers. However, after reading NEVER MISSING NEVER FOUND, I can’t help but look over my shoulder when walking through the employee passageway on my way to and from work. Of course, I know the events of the novel are all fictional, but at times they seemed all too plausible. That element of reality makes for a great fictional mystery. Read More
