Thanks very much Heaven-Ali. I lovely surprise when I got home :). Thanks for the Christmas card. Have a great Christmas & New Year.

The 1980s. Kate Meaney is a serious-minded and curious young girl - who spends her time with her toy monkey acting out the role of a junior detective. She notes goings-on at the Green Oaks shopping centre and in her street, particularly the newsagents, where she is friends with the owner's son Adrian. When she disappears, Adrian falls under suspicion. 2004: 30-something Lisa strikes up a friendship with a security guard in protest at her own futile relationship. Following CCTV glimpses of Kate, they become entranced by the lost girl and the history of Green Oaks...

There's such a lot in this book about how people feel about working or shopping in the Green Oaks Shopping Centre. Kate was a lovely plucky girl, the ending was so sad.
Really great book.
Thanks Heaven-Ali.

I'll send it someone who has it on their wishlist.

Going to KathyS, who has this on her wishlist

What a lovely surprise! Thank you so much ReetPetite :o) I'm off on holiday in a couple of days so I'm sure I can sneak this into my suitcase.

Thanks also for the lovely notecard - I love snowdrops as they really indicate the end of a long winter and the start of the warmer days ahead.
