      The Perfect Daughter

      Exploring The Boundaries

      I have spent periods of my life going dotty. I also taught full-time until retirement and have had five books published by reputable houses – which I like to offset against my sojourns in the bin. One of those spells was in January 2006. I was one of

      I neither loved or disliked this book. I really do not know how to describe my feelings. The whole time I was reading I continued to ask myself "would/could this really happen this way?" When I say this I am not refering to the switching of babys. I refer to interactions between individuals. Things they did or maybe the way they did things. Other books I have read by Ms. Kelly I have enjoyed, just not this one. I felt that the concept was good but could have been developed a little differently.

    Jean Mitchell landed on her belly on the hardwood floor, rolled over her bleeding left elbow to wind up under the dining table, and let rip a spray of bullets from her Uzi, the rapport sounding like someone punching the throttle on a Harley.

    Crystal vases and a mirror shattered across the formal dining room while drywall splintered and pulverized to form a powdery cloud in the room. Jean quickly caught her breath, the floor having knocked it out of her on impact, then rolled onto her back and used her feet to capsize the heavy mahogany dining table onto its side, forming some cover.

    She then targeted the glimmering chandelier and blacked out the room. She lowered her night vision goggles over her eyes, peeked over the upturned table and saw the glowing figure darting across the room. He turned to fire in her direction, but she took him down with a short burst from the Uzi.

    Jean slowly stood and holstered her weapon on her thigh, then rubbed her elbow and stepped carefully across the room toward the kitchen, the soles of her shoes crunching on the glass and other debris. She reached her arm around the doorframe, raised her goggles, and flipped on the lights.

    In the middle of the dining room lay the man she’d been chasing for three
