I like mysteries where I'm left to figure things out as those in the story are attempting to do the same. I started to read this as part of Suzanne Beecher's Email Book Club. It was interesting enough that I wanted to check it out from the library.

Sandra and Jason Jones live on the South side of Boston, with their daughter Clarissa Jane (Ree). One evening, Jason returns home to find that his beautiful young wife is missing, no signs of forced entry, no notes, no signs of struggle beyond a broken lamp. He eventually calls police and Sergeant D.D. Warren is called to investigate.

As the case draws out, additional suspects emerge and D.D. finds herself in an ever-expanding and questioning case. What happened to Sandra? What's up with Jason? Did Ree see/hear something? Is a neighbor to blame?

The book was, overall, a fast read. There were times where I was wondering exactly what was going on (until I put this into Goodreads, I didn't know it was part of a series). I found it interesting the author used actors so much to illustrate what the men looked like, but not the women or other "supporting" characters. While I had a vague idea of who they were being compared to, I had never really watched the shows they were in, so had to kind of make up where the author was going with their looks. And looks end up playing a big part in this book.

While I was engrossed in the story, other aspects just didn't make sense to me. It's more something that I can't pinpoint exactly, but that niggled my brain ever so much. It was an enjoyable read, but I'm not sure I'd check out the other books in the series to see if it made more sense to start with book one.
