Reading a book at the moment, well written, good level of suspense etc. About half way through and it now seems that it is heavily based on a very high profile child abduction story. Families go on holiday, go out for dinner, check every 30 mins on sleeping children (there are twins too) and one disappears. Haven't finished it so it might end differently but it just feels.....lazy? I'm sure I read a different book before that also mirrored something that was high profile. I would have thought that that wasn't allowed?

Have you ever read a book that seems to have stolen an idea from real life?
