I still slept quite a bit of yesterday. I’m not hurrying the recovery process. So, I didn’t get the chance to finish a book. But, I did start a promising police procedural.
This is not a spoiler to say E.A. Jackson’s Missing starts with a missing baby. For those who do not read “children in jeopardy” books, that baby is returned. But, thirty years later, Detective Chief Superintendent Martha Allen, who had worked that case, was never satisfied. However, when a woman showed up with the baby, the case was closed, despite Allen’s questions. Now, Nell Beatty, who returned the baby, has been found murdered. It gives Allen the chance to look again at that old case.
I love cold cases that are done well, and, in the first fifty pages, this one fits. A cold case in London, a female inspector, and a police procedural. If all goes well, I’ll finish the book today. I’m looking forward to this one.
