Mystery
When a brutal homophobic attack ended David Lloyd's career
as a police officer, his life was changed forever. Five
years later David is running his own private detective
agency, where a missing person's case comes to his
attention. Digging into the circumstances of her
disappearance forces David to realize he has not dealt with
what happened to him, and that he can no loner deal with
his long–time partner's fear of being honest about
their relationship. Solving the case might not only bring peace to a shattered
family, but could finally put David's own demons to
rest.

Re: Missing Daughter, Shattered Family
I really enjoyed this book, it had an old school mystery feel to it. Lots of twists and turns to the plot, it kept me guessing until the end! (Michelle McMichael 9:18am September 29, 2012)
Missing Daughter, Shattered Family is not a super fast paced, majorly action packed read, but it’s steady and gripping, & holds your interest the entire way through. It’s perfectly layered and fabulously enjoyable.
You build an affinity for the characters from the get-go, and their real-life struggles lead to the story and pull you in even more.
The plot is deep and intriguing and keeps you guessing up until the very last where the true ‘bad guys’ are thoroughly revealed.
While this is definitely a mystery, there is some sweet and true to life romance between the hero and his partner. It is a m/m romance, but that should not dissuade anyone from reading it. Even if you think you wouldn’t enjoy a m/m romance, as I said, the book is all about the mystery and the romance that is introduced just leads to the believability of the lead characters and their role in the solving of said mystery.
I would recommend the book to all Mystery aficionados. I’m really looking forward to book #2 of the series and can’t wait to see what’s in store for David & Jamie and the new friends they make along the way. If I were to sum up this book, it’s a wonderfully written mystery with a ton of heart. (Michelle Olson 9:48am September 29, 2012)
I usually don't read mysteries too often but I started this one and it was very good. There are a lot of different characters so you really have to kind of pay good attention or you could forget who was who but overall it was very easy to follow. David and his partner Jamie are very likeable and its very easy to want to read more about them. Definately a page turner and I will be looking forward to reading the next book in this series!
