Local Gone Missing by Fiona Barton


With con men and liars, how do you look for a missing man?

Berkley and Edelweiss let me read this book for review (thank you.)  This book is being published today.

Charlie is a happy, nice man.  But he has borrowed a lot of money and lost it.  Those he borrowed from are after him.

Elise is a detective that had cancer.  When she goes back to work, she takes on this case.  She asks lots of questions and look for connections.  The more questions she asks, the more crime she finds.

This police procedural is well thought out.  The more you learn,  the less you know. 

Where is Charlie?  How many folks will end up in jail?

It's a good read.
