How to Find That Book You've Spent Years Looking For

Hi I have been looking for a fictional mystery of sorts. The details that I remember are sketchy at best. A woman and man who I believe is the town sheriff find hidden lost town. The inhabitants of the town died many years ago from some disease that I believe was passed through a tainted water supply. I believe that the disease was tuberculosis or typhoid. The end of the book documents the struggle that the town went through before the death of the townspeople. I think there was a map that led them there. Please help!

Zri;

It could be a book by Roger Zelazny, I'm not sure which but it will not be part of his Amber series. Either This Immortal or The Doors of His Face, The Lamps of His Mouth is about the Indian Gods.

Tried this before and didn't go through, hope it doesn't go through twice.

I've been looking for maybe 3/4 years. The book opens with a chase through the catacombs of Paris, the plot centers around a vampire. His enemy is also the 'master criminal', who is trying to destroy him. A mansion forms a part of the setting, at some party the vampire must attend, he is nearly caught. I think the time frame might be Victorian. It's exciting, kind of sophisticated, intense. Suspense, I don't remember any romance. Published after 2000 I think.

I really hope this works, I've spent hours inputting what I remember, can't get anywhere. Thanks.

For Dorrie,

The name of the english version of the book you are seeking is "Tell No one" by Harlen Coben. The film is called "Ne le dis à personne"

I'm looking for an old children's book that I read 25 years ago. The main character is a young girl who lives in a small farming community. Her grandfather was one of the first people in the area to own a car, and it was a Model-T ford (new at the time). Her favorite thing to do is go to the library that is open once a month or so, and the story talks about how special the library and books are to her. At one point she has a cooking mis-hap, and creates some odd type of pop-over or something like that. I'm sorry I don't remember more, but if anyone could help it would be great. Thanks

I have been looking for a book I read as a child, about 18 years ago. I don't remember the name, but it was about a man who lived in acabin in the woods and talked to animals, like a bear and a dog, I think. He was in love with a mermaid that lived in the lake behind the cabin. The cover of the book was a cream color and had a scetching of the cabin. I have been searching for this book for ao many years, please help!
Thank you!

Hello! I've been trying to find a book for almost two years now and I REALLY want to find it again! I read it in the Temple Public Library. It was a hardcover children's picture book about a girl whose brothers set off to fulfill their lives, and so she does too. The girls has long dark curly hair. She goes on this adventure thing and meets a man... ah I vaguely remember this... she meets a man who's wearing black, and he makes her tame a pack of black dogs, or something like that, and then in the end he turns into a big fish and something something and then in the end they fall in love and marry. I think.

Agh it was such a good book though! I remember I loved it, but I could never remember the name of it! I've googled and googled it but I can't find it!!

I'll try to remember more from the book... but if anyone has ANY idea what it could be, please reply!!!!!

Thanks! :D

Thank you so much for your help! It sounds like what my boyfriend described, and it will make a great Christmas gift! Do you know anything about the second book I for which I am searching about a thief or zealot in Jerusalem shortly after Jesus' life on earth? I know one of the main characters is a girl who suffers from agoraphobia, and there is a character named Samson. Thank you again for your help!

I am looking for a children's/young adult book that I read in the 70's. It was about a people who lived on rafts on an underground river in complete darkness. Their were man eating fish in the water that the people were afraid of. One of the kids fell off the raft, survived and was washed out of the caves by the current. He had never seen the sun before and it burned his eyes, and he ate fruit from a tree that was so sweet it burned his mouth. It was an extremely descriptive book, and I am doing it absolutely no justice. I thought it was called the Underground River, but I don't think that's it. Thanks in advance for any help.

Nicole,
The one could be The Headless Cupid.

Shaneen, it sounds like you are looking for Piercing the darkness by Frank Peretti he also wrote a sequel called this present darkness , with the same theme , it could actually be either book. Both are great reading. I hope this helps, Billy

I am looking for a book I read a year or two ago.
It begins with a couple going to a lake where they've been going to since they were children, there is a tree with their initials carved in it. They go for a swim in the lake at night when they are visciously attacked by someone unknown. The man then wakes up after being knocked out and his wife has disappeared, believed to be dead.
Next, it is years after and the man (I think he is a Doctor) is working and receives an email which basically implies that his wife is still alive somewhere as it contains information that only she would know.
He then takes it upon himself to reopen the case of her "murder" and find out what really happened.

I would really appreciate it if you could help me find this book! It was also made into a film, I think it was a french film.

I am looking for a book I rented as an audiobook about 3 years ago from Hastings. I do not remember the name of the book, but the book begins with a woman having to pull her car over (or had a wreck?) because of a horrible headache. She is taken to the hospital where tests show she has had an aneurym (I think), and the doctor tells her she will have another one and she will die from it. She can't leave the hospital, but she spends the next 24 hours? doing things to leave for her family for after her death (writing letters, sending her husband for gifts, etc.). There is something about a desk at home that has significance too. Can someone please tell me the name of this book and who wrote it. I really want to read it again.

sorry I triple-commented, I didnt think it went through

Hi!

I'm looking for two books, but I don't have a title or an author for either, and I was hoping someone might be able to help me out. The first is about a thief or a zealot living in Jerusalem shortly after Jesus' death and resurrection. There is a character in the book named Samson, and the thief has to care for his sister, who has agoraphobia. The second is a fictional novel about an American town which gets inhabited by Satan and his demons. It talks about Satan's possession of various citizens and his attempts at destroying a preacher and his family. One scene describes the preacher's wife being attacked while in her car.

Thank you for your help!
