And She Was:
A
Novel of Suspense by Alison Gaylin
On a summer afternoon in
1998, six-year-old Iris Neff walked away from a barbecue in her small suburban
town . . . and vanished.
Missing persons
investigator Brenna Spector has a rare neurological disorder that enables her
to recall every detail of every day of her life. A blessing and a curse, it
began in childhood, when her older sister stepped into a strange car never to
be seen again, and it's proven invaluable in her work. But it hasn't helped her
solve the mystery that haunts her above all others--and it didn't lead her to
little Iris. When a local woman, Carol Wentz, disappears eleven years later,
Brenna uncovers bizarre connections between the missing woman, the long-gone
little girl . . . and herself.
A Trouble of
Fools by Linda Barnes
The first book in the
Carlotta Carlyle series!
Linda Barnes's A Trouble
of Fools is the book that introduced readers to ex-Boston cop and PI Carlotta
Carlyle, who knows trouble when she sees it like the old Irish lady offering a
grand in cash to find her brother...
Since being bounced from
the Boston police for insubordination after six years of service, Carlotta
Carlyle has set up shop as a private investigator ready to deal with anything
from lost pets to substantially grander larcenies. Though Carlotta, a
six-foot-tall, redheaded ex cop, part-time cabbie, and neophyte private eye,
works out of her home, it's rare that clients stop by unannounced. Especially
clients like the genteel, reserved, elderly spinster Miss Margaret Devens.
