There’s anther dogged missing persons investigator as protagonist in Before She Disappeared by Lisa Gardner. Missing persons investigator David Raker has solved too many impossible cases. He knows that behind every disappearance lies a dark tale waiting to be uncovered. Ten seconds before the crash, Cate and Aiden Gascoigne are recorded on CCTV.

Grips like a vice and twists like a rollercoaster. Impossibly clever. Impossible to put down' CHRIS WHITAKERAs he continues with the investigations, he realizes that there was more to Alex’s life than met the eye. Indeed, Alex was not the innocent person that his mother knew, as his life was full of sinister events whose secrecy was guarded by men who would do anything to ensure that the secrets were not disclosed, including killing anyone who insisted on knowing them. David is later to learn that death is not the worst thing that can happen to a person. A brilliant missing persons mystery with plenty of intrigue and a jaw-dropping number of twists and turns. Truly excellent B A Paris But the fire crews and forensic teams who expect to find the charred remains of a husband and wife find something else instead. With the growing popularity of Tim’s novels and given that he now writes full time, he is poised for great success.

Cate was a talented photographer and when Raker visits the Gascoignes’ home with Cate’s sister, Georgia, he discovers that she was working on a new project focusing on the victims of unsolved murders. Could that have had a bearing upon her death? And what might the mysterious ‘dunes’, overheard by Georgia in a hurried phone conversation, have to do with it?

Wherever the Gascoignes went, someone out there doesn’t want them found. And then there’s the mystery of the two witnesses to the crash, who both gave suspiciously word perfect descriptions of what happened, and seem to have unusual changes of character afterwards.

Until a letter arrives in the post, claiming to be from Fiona.

But he’s lonely and vulnerable, and could be about to make a huge mistake… As if Raker doesn’t have enough on his plate!
