Reporter Carol Childs is on the scene when the police pull up the body of a young woman from a Los Angeles canyon. The victim is Monica Channing, who went missing two weeks ago. While the rest of the media begin to focus on the murder, Carol sees a pattern with other missing young women. What might she have stumbled on?

This book is a fast paced read from the very beginning. It’s definitely not the light reads I often go for, but the story never gets as dark as it could either. Watching Carol try to prove what she thinks is going on is fun, and the climax was very satisfying. Carol leads a strong cast of characters, and I’m looking forward to her next adventure.

This book was frustrating mainly due to the character.
The book kept me intrigued but I grew tired of the main character. I understand the reason for his silence but it was also frustrating as you just wanted him to help especially when another boy went missing. I was so relived when he finally started talking.
It was interesting to see how families and people are affected when people go missing. This is the part you don't really read about in the books.
There was more than 1 thing going on in the family's lives so it wasn't all about Evan.
Anyone who likes crime should give this a read.
I gave the book a rad based on the blurb and it did exceed it.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.

Local Gone Missing is an engaging police procedural with a bit of a difference. The main character, Detective Elise King, is on sick leave, recovering from breast cancer treatment. But when one of the villagers in her village goes missing, she finds herself back at work in a more informal way.

I liked this a lot. For such a small village there’s a lot going on: drugs, tensions between new and old villagers, fires - and a disappearing neighbour. Honestly, it made me vow to never move to a village!

The main characters are great. Dee, who knows everyone’s secrets and flies under everyone’s radar; Ronnie, the typical nosey neighbour who wants to be Elise’s sidekick; and Elise, who is worried about going back to the job she clearly loves.

I didn’t guess who did it, as is usual.

Many thanks to The Pigeonhole for serialising this and expanding my reading horizons!
