Lizzy Gardner is a one-million copy bestselling series.Private investigator Lizzy Gardner knows a thing or two about living in the past. As a teenager, she was terrorized by a serial killer, an ordeal that haunted her for more than a decade before the maniac was finally stopped. So when terminally ill Ruth Fullerton begs Lizzy to reopen the cold case into her daughter's disappearance, it's hard to say no. More than twenty years have passed since Carol Fullerton vanished, abandoning her car by the side of a California freeway. The police wrote her off as a runaway, yet something tells Lizzy the truth isn't so simple...Carol's cold case has barely begun to thaw when Andrea Kramer shows up at Lizzy's door. Andrea's sister, Diane, has been missing for months, and she's convinced a charismatic weight-loss guru--part Tony Robbins and part Richard Simmons--is responsible. Diane was obese, but could her obsession with losing weight have led to her disappearance?As if two active missing persons cases weren't enough, Lizzy is also trying to manage her two teenage assistants, including one as wounded and haunted by her past as Lizzy.Fast-paced and deftly plotted, this impressive follow-up to the best-selling Abducted finds Sacramento PI Lizzy Gardner in over her head--but more determined than ever to help those no one else will.… (altro)

Kinda weird. Not really my thing. ( )

See mostly my review of #03 in the series and the comment I wrote there today, A Dark Mind A Dark Mind,
I read that one first (was lend for free with Amazon Prime, but bought it anyway).
That was a mistake to read them out of order, but I still think the first one was the best, and this and the third where a bit too much with too many stories and Jessica is still a bad detective. The person I like most is Hayley.
In this book and the first, Lizzy is ok, although here concerns regarding Jarred are grating on my nerves.
May add to this review when I have read the other books in the series (or comment on the series in the last review). ( )

It is difficult to review why I disliked the book without providing spoilers. The plot was a great one: obese women being kidnapped and forced to lose weight, but the whodunnit conclusion was very weak. The assistant who attacked paedophiles seemed imatitive of The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo but a Pollyanna version that was unconvincing and dislikable. ( )

Lizzy Gardner, a private investigator known as the “one who got away,” has spent over a decade trying to get over her past and move on. Although she knows that the man responsible for ruining her life is now dead, letting it all go is easier said than done. Hoping murder and mayhem are behind her, she delves into her first cold case: twenty-one years ago, a girl went missing and the girl’s dying mother is more desperate than ever to know what happened to her only child.

A Missing Woman…

After a woman walks into Lizzy’s office and offers her a large sum of money to keep a close eye on a fitness guru, a man she believes is responsible for her sister’s disappearance, Lizzy realizes she might have taken on more than she can handle.

An Angry Teenager…

Lizzy calls in the help of her two assistants, forcing Hayley and Jessica to work together. Hayley might be of more use to Lizzy if she wasn’t wandering the streets of Sacramento in the dead of night.
