Blurb; Frankie Elkin is an average middle-aged woman, a recovering alcoholic with more regrets than belongings. But she spends her life doing what no one else will–searching for missing people the world has stopped looking for. When the police have given up, when the public no longer remembers, when the media has never paid attention, Frankie starts looking.
A new case brings her to Mattapan, a Boston neighborhood with a rough reputation. She is searching for Angelique Badeau, a Haitian teenager who vanished from her high school months earlier. Resistance from the Boston PD and the victim’s wary family tells Frankie she’s on her own–and she soon learns she’s asking questions someone doesn’t want answered. But Frankie will stop at nothing to discover the truth, even if it means the next person to go missing could be her.
My Review; My second five star read of the year. What a beauty. I devoured it in two days. I could not put it down! I just needed answers. The beginning drags you in straight away thinking what is going on here… Gripping. Thrilling. Tense. Fast paced. Deadly. Dark. This is going to be a bestseller for sure.
The story is about Frankie a white woman among a 99% black community. So she stands out. Is a target. Isn’t wanted. She’s there to find a missing girl. What starts out a simple girl missing case soon turns into something much bigger. Huge. Where her life is at risk so the whole thing is kept hidden. It’s a book you won’t want to put down. She is a one woman team who knows the right questions to ask and the right people to trust. She’s also an alcoholic.
Frankie is one strong, independent and determined lady and she does not give up. Got to praise her for that. Can she find the girl before it’s too late? A very clever story one that I didn’t know much about to be honest. Very clever. Highly recommend. A huge five stars from me. Brilliant read!
