>7 gaylebutz: Thank you also, Gayle, for telling me where you have been in your reading. So much easier than searching for the location the book is set in. There are some you just can't find...but I do try. You make it so easy. Thanks again.

Stolen Children - Michael Wood
DCI Matilda Drake series Book #6
5★

Some cases won’t die. A young boy walks into a police station in France. He claims to be Carl Meagan – a missing child from Sheffield whose name is still whispered as a warning to kids who stay out after dark. Some children won’t be found. On her way home from the supermarket, nine-year-old Keeley Armitage vanishes without trace. Her family is overcome with shock and DCI Matilda Darke can’t help but focus on memories of the Carl Meagan case that almost ruined her career. Some killers won’t be stopped. As Matilda investigates, she peels back the layers of grief and sadness that surround Keeley’s family. Until she is left with an unimaginable choice: betray those closest to her or let a violent killer walk free.

Matilda has always been haunted throughout this series by the cases that the one she hunted got away...or the more accurately, "the one she didn't get back." The book will play havoc with your emotions...the family is filled with so much emotional baggage it seems to almost ooze from their pores. Truly the mothers torment by this girls disappearance is almost painful to read. I began to distrust almost everything the family said and did and so did the police. Few authors can produce the effect on me that Michael Wood can. He always portrays such brilliantly vivid, true to life characters in his stories that the reader just has to read one more page...until one more page turns into no more pages and your realize that you have had the adventure of another great case with an ending so full of promise that has left you hungry for more.

I've been in Georgia with a Private Investigator/ex-cop who thinks there's more to the shooting of her good friend in a liquor store robbery than the police are saying. It's Irish Eyes by Kathy Hogan Trocheck.

I've been in a small town in Wyoming with a judge who's presiding over a murder trial of a defendant he knows and likes and a prosecutor he knows and hates. It's Court of Lies by Gerry Spence.

I've been in Santa Teresa California with Sue Grafton's feisty PI, Kinsey Millhone. I've been re-reading these 80's set mysteries during this strange year and have reached I is for Innocent in which Kinsey re-investigates a murder that occurred six years previously.
I love reading mysteries set in the pre-internet era as the protagonists have to work harder to get a result. Touchstone won't pick up the title for some reason.

I’ve been in England and Scotland with a young family driving their daughter to a math competition and they’re having many difficulties along the way. It’s One Plus One by Jojo Moyes.
