Vanished Book Review

A PRIVATE JUSTICE Novel

SUMMARY:  A tenacious reporter.  A skeptical PI. And a secret that will shatter lives.

     Reporter Moira Harrison is lost.  In the dark.  In a thunderstorm.  When a lone figure suddenly appears in the beam of her headlights, Moira slams on her brakes - but it's too late.  She feels the solid thump against the side of her car before crashing into a tree on the far side of the road.

     A man opens he door, tells her he saw everything, and promised to call 911.  Then the world fades to black.  When she comes to, she is alone.  No man. No 911.  No injured person.  But she can't forget the look of terror she saw on that face in the instant before her headlights swung away.  And she can't get anyone to believe her story - except maybe a handsome ex-homicide detective turned private eye, who reluctantly 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.

REVIEW:  Irene Hannon does it again.  Just when I thought I had figured the storyline out, she throws a curve ball and changes directions.  The storyline was engaging and never boring.  I like how the character were developed.  The only problem I had was with how the troublemaker (for lack of a better word) was dealt with.  It would have been great to see what happened when the information got out about everything that had been done by the troublemaker and see that person get their full due.  But, other than that, the story was awesome.
