Alone & Lonely

by Adrian J. Smith

A missing baby, a boss with a vendetta, and a case to solve.

Grace is thrown into chaos when her life seems to fall apart. She’s been handed her biggest case yet and must work with Homicide Detective Link Abrams in order to solve it. As Peter prepares to go back to seminary and Kit prepares for graduation, Grace must face the fact that her relationship with Amya is falling apart.

Pulling overtime hours to find her missing baby, Grace wonders if Missing Persons is the department for her and if she can continue to work with a supervisor who won’t respect her boundaries. All she wants in the moment, however, is to find Andrew and stay off Paige’s radar.

Reviews

[Vita L. Licari · Rating 5 out of 5]

This wonderful book was on my TBR shelves! It's about Grace Halling a missing person detective and her girlfriend the police Chaplin Amya Stone. Grace's supervisor has feelings for her and keeps her at work doing major overtime every night and on weekends. Which is putting a strain on her relationship with Amya and the teenager and 20 yr old they've fostered. Plus, Grace is working on a homicide with a homicide detective Link, and the missing newborn infant Andrew's case. Then she also has to find a missing lawyer.
This is a hard hitting reality based police story and a rocky relationship love story! I really enjoyed this story, I could sympathize with Amya, but I also know how it is to love a job. 5 stars!
