Who done it?uhh, who cares.From the very beginning of this book, we're pretty sure where the road is going to lead.The problem is, the journey on that road is pretty predictable and uninteresting enoughto make us feel a little indifferent.One missing girl ignites an avalanche of ugly memories and guilt whenanother girl goes missing years later.Everybody in this little town is connected by either teen-age lust or old high school resentments.The town shrink is married to the town police detective who used to date...well,you get the idea. All are enmeshed in some kind of dysfunctional relationship andthe author spends way too much time getting to the root of it all.You find yourself muttering "move ON with it "Cookie cutter characters and soap opera dialog complete this dismal picture ### ⭐⭐ No good characters *by S***W on Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2021* This book is not about Detective Jones Cooper solving a case. Neither was the first book in the series. In fact, Jones Cooper is not even the main protagonist. If there is a protagonist, it is his wife the psychiatrist, although she had only a small part in the first book. So don’t be fooled by the book description. The book is really about the crappy town called The Hollows and all of the pathetic losers who still live there, wishing they had left after a really awful high school experience. Yes, and I got that the first 10 times the author made that point. And it got boring. Really boring. My boredom wasn’t relieved by interesting dialogue between characters either because there was a scarcity of any dialogue except some grouchy exchanges between nearly everyone. The book is 90 percent internal dialogue and descriptions of the dysfunctional lives and pasts of virtually everyone. I didn’t finish it. There was no one to like, no one to be interested in, no reason to keep reading. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another thought-provoking novel by Lisa Unger *by F***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2021* I have read several of Ms. Unger’s novels, and I always enjoy their thought-provoking nature, this one emphasizing the fragility of life, as well as how our pasts affect our personalities, our presents, and even our futures. I like Ms. Unger’s character development in that all her characters are complex, not completely heroic or completely evil...Jones Cooper, a detective in the small town called The Hollows, is a hero in the eyes of most of the townspeople, someone who remained in town instead of heading to the big city supposedly to take care of his ailing mother; however, Jones keeps secrets, and as the story unfolds, we learn he is not the hero the townspeople think he is. Unger also tries to connect how their natures are affected by what happens to them...violence often perpetrates more violence in future generations. Others try to do the right thing because they see those they love trying to do the right thing. The author also shows how people keep secrets, second guess their decisions, many of the complexities of life put forward using her characters and their experiences.In this novel, two incidents of missing teenaged girls, occurring years apart in the same small town trigger emotions and long-held secrets. And while we may think we know who is responsible , the full story is not revealed until the final pages of the novel. I would give the novel 4 1/2 stars for its thought-provoking nature. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/28821015-fragile-a-novel-jones-cooper-book-1](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/28821015-fragile-a-novel-jones-cooper-book-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
