mike_68's review against another edition
4.0
Though a bit late to this series it is refreshing to find an author that draws you in right from the start, with this entertaining, fast-paced, short novel. DCI Robert Kett, has a reputation of solving difficult missing persons cases, except for his missing wife, Billie. Relocating to Norwich in an effort to rebuild his life as well as his three daughters, Alice, Evie and baby Moira, Kett is asked to help with locating two missing girls, apparently abducted whilst delivering a local newspaper. DCI Kett is a refreshing character with no apparent life challenges, and his interactions with his children is authentic. Joined by new recruit PC Kate Savage and longtime friend DI Pete Porter, Kett lends his assistance in locating the missing girls under the watchful eye of Superintendent Colin Clare.
The negative of this novel was the constant presence of baby Moira, which is unlikely to happen realistically, ultimately becoming frivolous to the story, but once Kett found a babysitter, it moved along quicker.
