I was really enjoying Lost and Found by Jacqueline Sheehan until its totally unnecessary and creepy climax.

It is the story of Rocky, a young woman whose life falls apart after failing to save her husband with CPR after he has a heart attack. She moves to a small island off the coast of Maine, takes a job as an Animal Control Warden, and tries to heal.

A black Labrador comes into her life, and as the story of his missing owner unravels, the book descends into strange territory.

I liked Sheehan’s writing, and was very drawn into the main characters story. I felt there were other interesting characters that were not developed well enough. This could have been a really good book, but somehow it missed the mark.
