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!

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.

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!
