The Various Haunts of Men, by Susan Hill, b-plus, Narrated by Steven Pacey, produced by BBC Audio Books, downloaded from audible.com.
A middle-aged woman goes for her run one morning and is never seen again. She had no family and no one but her employer to miss her. Young policewoman Freya Graffham is assigned to the case; she's new to the job, but not new to police work as she had previously worked for the London Met. The police ultimately don’t take the disappearance too seriously, especially when a body is never found. Then another woman, this time a patient of Simon’s Sister, who is a doctor, disappears. They uncover evidence that a boy on a mountain bike disappeared in the not too recent past, and yet another elderly woman goes to a saeance, and disappears afterward. No bodies, but the three women were seeking relief from grief or low self esteem from alternative therapies. Freya and detective Chief Inspector Simon Serrailler have the task of solving the mystery behind this sequence of events. Several twists and turns, including the ending, unexpected to me at least. This is the first in a series of books about Inspector Simon Serrailer.
