A very interesting story that shows the emotions of rookie detectives and how they evolve as detectives. I believe this is a process many of them go through. I would think that some get there quickly but not all. This story concerns a missing daughter after her mother is murdered, as told in many reviews. But while the story does indeed involve the missing daughter, that isn’t really the focus of this story so the name can be misleading. However, it is such a great story and very difficult to guess what will happen next. I will definitely read more from this author.

Anya Blonski is a dance student who has hopes of becoming famous. Then she becomes missing. DS Jack Mackinnon is investigating her case. There are conflicting stories as to just where she went. A cruise line but no one remembers the name of the cruise line or where they heard that rumor. But she isn’t the only girl missing. Can Mackinnon figure it out? It’s not who you think it is! I would like to thank Booksprout for a copy of this book for me to read and review.
Great start to a new series. Love Jack. Seems to be a good mentor.
Story has lots of rabbit trails to follow before getting to who done it. Took me a bit to figure it out and had to wait for the proof of who I thought was the bad guy.
Love a story that makes it challenging to figure out who did it.

Deadly Obsession #1 – This is not my first story by this author but I see where this series could be as good as the Harper Grant series written under Danica Britton. This story is well written with a good plot and some interesting characters. There’s enough twist to the story that you have two suspects automatically. The story moved rather quickly and didn’t take long to read. It will be interesting to see how the policemen will grow through out the series since this is a good but basic introduction to these two men and this series.
The author wrote this book several years ago and her writing style has improved since then (going by the Grant series). There’s a preview of the story, which I appreciate knowing what a story is about before I read it. I found this book on Booksprout.co. 3*
Her Missing Daughter – This isn’t my favorite story by this author. It needed to move at a faster pace, even when setting up the foundation of the storyline. There is too much trivial details that act as filler instead of enhancing the story and should have been edited out. The characters aren’t well developed, along with some of their dialog. The main character bored me with her continuous yammering and thinking everyone owed her answers. I know the murdered woman was her childhood friend but they weren’t that close, even with their Friday Skype chats since Yappy moved to India five years earlier. I didn’t find any suspense with this story and the psychological part escaped me.
