[close] Susie Steiner has written a near perfect British police procedural. As you might predict from the title, Missing, Presumed, tells the story of a beautiful young Cambridge student, Edith Hind, who disappears without a trace one evening from her flat. Catching the case on her scanner, Detective Manon Bradshaw, age 39, is soon entrenched questioning suspects who may have wished young Edith harm. Steiner has created an appealing cast of police officers who are carefully drawn. This mystery novel has a bit more in- depth characterization and description than most, which I enjoyed. Unputdownable with a nice twist at the end. For fans of Kate Atkinson.
