Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Will she live to see her 21st birthday?

When a distraught mother pleads with reporter Cindy Thomas to investigate the disappearance of her daughter, Tara, and her baby granddaughter, Cindy goes straight to SFPD Sergeant Lindsay Boxer.

The prime suspect is Tara's husband, but he tells a conflicting story that paints Tara as a wayward wife, not a missing person.

Is this a tragic case of domestic violence? Or is the truth linked to a more complex network of killings?

As the case grows into something far bigger than any of them could have imagined, the Women's Murder Club will need to work together to unpick the truth from a web of lies.

More of the same - very enjoyable

This book and it’s performance are satisfyingly similar to its predecessors. No real need to put your thinking cap on as without you’ll be simply entertained by a well delivered performance of a typical whodunnit…

Brilliant

Loved the book as much as the 20 before it.
Hated the way Cindy's voice was played out by the narrator. Soooo squeaky.

Loved the story, but disappointed with the ending, no closure. Loved the narration by January LaVoy.

Great narration, story needed some editing!

Loved it up to the point of the courtroom stuff. I love this series but find there's far too much courtroom story in the last few books. Just find it a bit tedious. Also there's a lot he said...I said...she said... and the way the narrator says that makes it repetitive. Dialogue between characters should be free flowing and not just this is what they said. Spoils the lovely narration of January LaVoy who is excellent at characterisation. Enjoyable book. not one of the best in the series.
