This has to be one of my favorite books I've read so far this year. It was beautifully written and very well researched by the author. Anna, a missing persons detective, was quite the flawed character, and she did come to realize just how much so at the end of the book. She tried very hard to be a good person and do the right thing, but she never healed from her own trauma that happened to her when she was a young girl. This caused her to go overboard when taking on cases so much that she ignored everything else in her life.

After becoming a big fan of Denise Grover Swank this year with her Rose Gardner series, then the Spin off for Rose Investigations, this darker spin-off series features protagonist Harper Adams and brings back the anti-hero but excellent James Malcolm from both of Rose's previous series. This August release is the third in this series and I loved it. 5 star rating, hope this series continues awhile. The romance heats up, the mystery deepens with her family, she spends this book solving a murder close to her - dark, excellent, and unique.

I really liked this book, it did take a bit to get into with the "diary" type entries, but overall fantastic story. I was in high school in the mid nineties and the story took me back to high school. Charlie's HS experience was different than mine, but I remember what it was like being a teen and trying to fit in. The mental health part of the book really got to me for personal reasons.
