Review
At the heart of this book lies a mystery. A disappearance, a murder and a selection of witnesses some more reliable than others. There are all the characters one would expect the tired, yet diligent policeman, the upstart, the victim, the family, the ex and yet it manages not to feel clichéd. There are lots to like in this debut novel and I would certainly recommend it. Four Stars.
