Tomorrow's Child - Part One
 | Average Customer Rating: Recommend By popular request, Vinnie d'Este is back! Anthony Waugh and John W Cassell asked if I'd write a follow up to Valla's Secret, so how could I resist. In this follow up to Valla's Secret, Vinnie must find two children, Beth and Naz, who have gone missing from a Rome orphanage. Thinking it is a simple job of tracing missing persons, he enlists Rachel Cohen's help but all is not as it seems and the Church has sinister reasons for wanting… Product details and pricing info |

- Part One....A Stunning Sequel
- I remain overwhelmed with the plots generated by the mind of author Sally Quilford!!! just incredible. and that ending for part one..."I'll make your job easier, we just need the boy..." it was all I could do to write this review. what a cliffhanger!!!!
at first I wondered what had happened to the D'Este crime empire... once that was cleared up, I was able to get back to this plot that has me guessing in all directions.
Rachel's work on that ditz's memiors still has me laughing. I laugh every time her name or initials comes up. I find humor interlaces all sorts of experiences. I like a story that can do that. This one certainly has that gift. One is picking up a certain atmosphere around the city room as well. I was honored to find myself given credit for this story being written. Well here and now I go on record as hoping Ms. Quilford is going to make this into a feature length novel one day, and if so that is one scene the development of which will be especially enjoyable.
I wanted to be skeptical of Rachel giving in to Vinnie so fast, after what happened. but it's CHEMISTRY!!! nothing hard to swallow about that. we're all like lemings over a cliff when it comes to that.
As for Vinnie, the author capitalizes on a great deal of reader curiosity left over from Valla's Secret to continue the guessing games...games hat are important because to a large degree the safety of the children will depend on whether Vinnie can be trusted. Sally has the usual mafia progression running in reverse here, the traditional mafia dons wouldn't touch drugs, but the younger generation went right into it. Vinnie and his father play exactly the opposite roles... and the guy just doesn't like to run girls...except thru his bed. it flies...it works...the controversy continues as once more the reader finds himself thoroughly engrossed in this character as the children meanwhile loom larger and larger as objects of great mystery and curiousity.
I'll have to read the whole story before if I see if I like the guy. he's good to his mum. all mafiosi were. or so we're told. in any event it's a culturally smiled upon thing. obviously there's a conflict looming with mum's medical bills on one side, and rachel and values on the other. a tough choice for anyone.
really, really, great...and so very entertaining!!!! Great job!!! Five stars!!!
