This is the first time I ever read anything by this author , I loved reading this mystery with strong characters and very well written story line. This story has a lot of twist and turns threw the whole story and keeps you guessing. I highly recommend this story to everyone who loves mysteries.
I became engrossed in this story and I could not put it down. I love British mysteries and this book had me guessing all of the way to end. I loved this story and could identify with the main character, Abbie. She has a heart of gold and I would hope to have her as a friend should anything ever happen to me. Great story.

No one calls late at night with good news. Abbie answers to find that her best friend Nicole is dead and her daughter is missing. Taking the first flight she can get, Abbie arrives to find that her best friend has been murdered and no one has seen her daughter since. Why did the killer target Nicole? Did her daughter see her being murder? Is she now on the run or has she been kidnapped?
In this very well written mystery, I found that the characters were extremely developed (especially Abbie). It was suspenseful, filled with unexpected twists and turns, characters that were dimensional, and a surprising storyline & ending.
Once I started reading, it was really hard to put the book down and for once I didn’t know the murderer until the very end.

interesting for this story is that the story is mostly told from the perspective of a dear friend of the murder victim, rather than from the perspective of law enforcement, as in the other books I read by this author.
since the main speaker, a nurse, has been working out of country for a few years, she finds she may not know critical info about several of the involved parties – though it seems those who spent most of their time with them may lack info that cost lives already, as well as love and innocence
if you enjoy challenging mystery and suspense stories, this Brit drama might be a real eye opener for you.
I could hardly put it down once I started.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy. I am voluntarily leaving a review. Abbie is away in India setting up a clinic. She gets a late night phone call that her best friend, Nicole, has died. She rushes back home to the UK for the funeral. What she finds out when she arrives is that Nicole was murdered and her 15 year old daughter is missing. Abbie begins a hunt for her goddaughter which leads to a lot more questions. This is a good book to curl up with on a cold winters night. The suspect doesn’t jump out at you and the twists keep you guessing.

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.
