Description

After raising her son, Ben, by herself, librarian Inga Daudelin is blindsided when he is accused of the murders of four young women. At the same time, Jean, a young, pregnant waif who seems both simple and wise, “imprints” on Inga at work, drawing her into an unusual friendship. When Ben kidnaps Jean, Inga and lead detective Ron O’Loughlin, with whom she is falling in love, search for the two, who along with Jean’s baby, have formed a strange but human family.

The Answer to Your Question explores how well we’re able to know those we love, why our deepest attachments are not always the predictable ones, and the mystery of why we do the things we do.

With 102 4.8 out of 5 star reviews on Amazon, the common denominator is that readers often finished Answer in one sitting. But many say it is more than a page turner, describing it as a book they loved and won't easily forget.
