A Good Girl's Guide to Murder (A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, #1)

by Holly Jackson

80% of missing people are found in the first twenty-four hours. 97% are found in the first week, and 99% of cases are resolved in the first year. That leaves just 1%. 1% of people who disappear are never found. And just 0.25% of all missing persons cases have a fatal outcome.[*5]

The people you love weren’t calculated, subtracted, or held at arm’s length across a decimal point.

But sometimes remembering isn’t for yourself; sometimes you do it just to make someone else smile.

Maybe laughter was one of the very first things you lost after something like that.
