Bannister excels at the British police procedural. Her character, Brodie Farrell, is a young woman with a small daughter and a failed marriage who operates a "finding agency" in a small seaside town.

There is reference to earlier events and adventures and if you are going to try Ms Bannister you might want to start at the beginning. I am now going to read her previous novels in order, ( )
