Red Flags by Lisa Black Book Review


 

Dr. Ellie Carr … how can she possibly have an unbiased opinion when the parents of Mason are her relatives? And, what happened to Mason? He was just a baby and couldn’t have done anything wrong. She expected the unthinkable.

Taylor – a very intelligent 11-year-old. She kept calling Mason the ‘dragon baby.’ Why?

Becca and Hunter – Taylor and Mason’s parents. Becca is also Ellie’s cousin, though they have been out of touch for quite a long time.

Rachael Davies – she works for the Locard Institute. Hunter hired the Locard to help in assisting to find Mason.

Ellie and Rachael also had their own opinions about each other. I liked those internal thoughts that were scattered throughout the telling of this tale.

There was also another crime involved that I wasn’t expecting, and the why of it made sense as I was finishing this book. As it finally did to Ellie when everything clicked into place.

I liked the fact that Becca and Hunter thought they had to be in control of everything and everyone in order to accomplish what they needed to do. I liked the fact that Hunter and Becca came face-to-face with each other when they were confronted with their wrongdoings, but yet continued to maintain a united front. Odd really, considering the depths of one of their crimes, but made for an interesting read.

And when it finally clicked for Ellie? I liked how it was all tied up and explained in the end. It all made sense when the ending came together, at least it did for me.
