What I'm Reading - Vanished

My Thoughts

Irene Hannon is quickly becoming one of my favorite fiction suspense authors. I loved her books Fatal Judgment and Lethal Legacy and couldn't wait to read her newest book Vanished. It is the first book in a new series - A Private Justice.

I love a good mystery. One that I can't figure out until the very end of the book. Vanished is one of those books. From the beginning moment when Moira sees the face of the woman on the rainy road, I couldn't read this one fast enough. I also love how smart she writes her female characters. Moira while she was victimized, she is not a victim. She didn't take the easy way of things and had to know the truth. Enter the private investigator that changes everything. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.

About the Book

Reporter Moira Harrisons is lost. In the dark. In a thunderstorm. When a confusing detour places her on a rural, wooded road, she's startled by the sudden appearance of a lone figure caught in the beam of her headlights. Though Moira jams on her brakes, the car careens across the wet pavement--and the solid thump against the side of the vehicle tells her she hit the person before she crashes into a tree on the far side of the road.

A dazed Moira is relieved when a man opens her door, tells her he saw everything, and promises to call 911. Then everything fades to black. When she comes to an hour later, she is alone. No man. No 911. No injured person lying on the side of the road. But she can't forget the look of terror she saw on the person's face in the instant before her headlights swung away. The person she hit had been in trouble. She's sure of it. But she can't get anyone to believe her story--except a handsome former police detective, now a private eye, who agrees to take on the case.

As clues begin to surface, it becomes obvious that someone doesn't want this mystery solved--and will stop at nothing to protect a shocking secret.
