Miranda and Parker #12
The Stolen Girl
On a sunny winter afternoon in West Hollywood, California, a seven-year-old girl gets into a car with a stranger.
Two hours later a single mother receives a call telling her not to go to the police.
On the other side of the country, Miranda and Parker are sparring in the gym—until a colleague tells them her sister’s daughter is missing and begs them to help.
A kidnapping? A missing little girl?
Of course they have to help. With thoughts of the desperate search for her own daughter, Miranda boards the next plane to LA, along with Parker and the team.
But when they arrive in tinsel town, the clues are sparse. Locating the little girl seems hopeless, and soon they find themselves at the kidnapper’s mercy.
But is this just a kidnapping?
Or is it something much worse?

This series of Miranda and Parker is great! Lots of action and emotions. It gets a bit tedious in detail but doesn't distract from the story line. How can you not feel emotion when a child is involved.

A Small Girl Has Been Taken
These cases seem to be bringing Miranda and Parker closer to death. And this time the whole Parker Team were almost obliterated. The storyline and characters keep getting better and better.

Amazing book
Number 12 in the Miranda and Parker series
On a sunny afternoon in California, Detective Wesson’s 7 year old niece is taken by a man . Her sister calls Detective Wesson and she asks Miranda and Parker to get involved. Like all stories in the series, the plots are complexed and totally involving. Each book is so different but so well written you never tire of the series. This is another quick read.... don’t plan on doing anything until the book is finished.

The Stolen Girl
This is the story of a young girl who was kidnapped in front of her school and the people who get to look for her before it is too late. This is my review and mine alone. Norma Gorrill

Catch me
I enjoy how Miranda & Parker always do what they set out to do. I think these books will be good for people who enjoy a good clean mystery.

The Stolen Girl
Well written. Too bad the daddy had to die. But he did go along with a horrible plan. Maybe Wesson and Sloan will get together.

Mystery and suspense
The main characters remain top notch detectives but this one really pulls at the heart strings. Some parts may cause fear.

Exciting!
I've read all of the books in this series. "The Stolen Girl" is the 12th; and with each book, I grow more fond of Miranda and Parker and all the members of the team. I can't wait to see who needs their help next and what danger the new investigation brings. I invite everyone who enjoys mysteries to join there journey.

Engaging story with lots of questions why. A setup from the beginning that keeps getting more confusing. This is one of the best Miranda and Parker stories by far. Hope this series keeps going for a .one time.
