Naomi is a private investigator with a passion for finding missing children. In her current case she sets out to find Madison Culver, "The Snow Child," who disappeared three years earlier while her family was picking out a Christmas tree. Narrator Alyssa Bresnahan uses a fittingly solemn tone for a bleak and disturbing story. When Denfeld's story changes its point of view, Bresnahan's delivery makes the shifts clear. She poetically delivers Denfeld's prose with meaning and a tone of vulnerability and recounts the pasts of both Naomi and Madison hauntingly. The suspense of the story is magnified by her impressive narration. The story line, the connections between characters, and the compelling ending will not disappoint.

Once a missing child herself, Naomi is now the eponymous Child Finder, known for her ability to track abducted children, living and dead. Called in to locate Madison Culver, gone missing in Oregon's Skookum forest three years earlier when she was five, Naomi finds herself on a journey into her own past. Bresnahan's haunting narration intensifies the atmosphere of this gripping and harrowing novel. While she deftly captures Naomi's intensity as she searches for children and attempts to resolve questions from her own childhood abduction, Bresnahan also excels in authentically voicing young Madison, a girl whose daydreams, fueled by memories of her beloved fairy tales, help her survive her harrowing captivity and abuse. Lyrical language and bits of fairy tales permeate the novel and contrast strikingly with Madison's nightmare existence. Bresnahan's assured reading skillfully illuminates characters and events in this provocative, elegantly written tale. Copyright 2019 Booklist Reviews.
