Thriller

AND SHE WAS features Brenna who investigate disappearances and specializes in those involving children. Readers meet her just as she is beginning a new investigation. Brenna, has a disorder that leaves her remembering every single thing she has ever learned or done in life. While this sounds like a great gift, it can't be all good...who wants to remember what they ate 7 1/2 years ago? Her gift does make her perfect as an investigator though. She is able to recall every person she meets as well as their mannerisms, characteristics, motives. However her gift can also be a burden, as too many memories can build up making it hard to focus on the important ones to the investigation. AND SHE WAS is a thriller guaranteed to keep you turning pages until the last one is turned.

SUMMARY

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.
