Naomi finds missing children, that's what she does. The snow girl is waiting to be found. But will Naomi find out the truth in time? From the author of The Enchanted, a novel as unsettling as Lullaby or Room, and as beautifully written as The Lovely Bones or History of Wolves
Naomi Cottle deploys an expert sense born of personal experience to find missing children after the police have failed. As she follows her senses to find a young girl she believes still to be alive who disappeared in the Oregon mountains, the feelings she has suppressed in herself begin to assert themselves.
A hauntingly beautiful, chilling novel by a real-life badass heroine (Rene Denfeld is, among other things, a licensed investigator and foster-adoptive parent),
The Child Finder turns around a woman named Naomi, a private investigator with a gift for finding lost children, and her search for a girl who has been missing in the Oregon woods for three years. Denfeld brings Naomi to life with precise, lyrical prose. While the whole book reads like a fairytale for adults, Naomi herself is fully realized and deeply human
