If you've followed my blog for very long, you probably know I'm a fan of Lisa Gardner. She's one of those authors that I don't even read the book description because I know I'm going to want to read whatever she writes. I was surprised though when I started reading Before She Disappeared and realized I was being introduced to a new lead character that hadn't been seen in a previous novel or series. It was fun to see how Frankie Elkin's character developed over the course of the novel. I very much enjoyed this stand alone novel and hope it might evolve into a new series.
Frankie Elkin is a recovery alcoholic whose sole personal mission is to travel around the country searching for the missing, those people that no one else can bring home. Part amateur detective, part renegade, Frankie is committed to do whatever it takes to solve the case. Flawed yet relatable in certain ways, Frankie leads the reader along as she investigates the complicated disappearance of Angelique Badeau.
This book kept me guessing and turning pages at a fast pace. Fingers crossed that we see a new series with Frankie Elkin solving more missing persons cases. Another five star read for me!
