After a young girl goes missing, former TV crime reporter Vicky Robeson joins the search with the help of her attractive new love interest. They take his RV to a tiny town in rural Missouri that's filled with odd characters and darker secrets. But Vicky has secrets of her own. She believes this kidnapped girl may be linked to a case she reported on nine years ago, when a mystery child was found walking on levee, bloody and unable to speak. Back then, Vicky failed to follow up clues only she knew. Now, she has a chance to redeem herself.

As she uncovers secrets, it becomes clear someone will kill to keep them hidden.

really good book

I know MLBarrs from working at a TV station where I worked for the general manager and she was and she was the news Director. I was always impressed with how she did so well running away from home at 15 but it was so nice to see her last week for the introduction of her book in Dallas and keep going Maria that was a very good book.

Not normally a mystery reader

Really enjoyed this book, I don’t normally read mysteries but I might now! I can’t wait for the next one in the series.

A Great Mystery Read

The characters were both real and complex. I loved that. The story was interwoven with backward glances which added to the intrigue and the mystery. The characters are compelling and I am hoping Ms. Barrs is planning to treat us to a series!

It really happened, it seems!

Maria is a winner, and the narrator is good, Found it hard to stop (and I think I have known some of these characters, so they must be real). Much good to say, but my typing is lousy, so I will just close with BRAVO1

Good story

The history of everyone and tying them together. The book moved at a good pace without bogging down, I never lost interest. I liked it enough to recommend to my knitting group.
