THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner, a propulsive thriller featuring an ordinary woman who will stop at nothing to find the missing people that the rest of the world has forgotten
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.
Customer Reviews
Not my favorite
This one was pretty hard for me to get through. I felt the story dragged, not very exciting and the narrator was absolutely terrible making it harder to finish the book. Narrator was super monotone.
Good story, robotic narration
I’m a big fan of Lisa Gardner and like the story, but the narration is robotic and stilted. Could not continue past chapter 4. Wish there was a way to get a refund. Disappointing, was really looking forward to this new release.
Major disappointment! Just another “let me help those poor minorities”
You can’t be serious! The main character is so entitled and self absorbed. The more I read the more disappointed I was.
