Detective Shane Notfarg has been assigned a missing persons case. Her case involves finding the missing realestate agent Art Flynn, who sells mobile home sites.

The cast of characters seem varied and interesting. This who done it will be very interesting as it seems in the first few chapters that the mobile park manager Bert Swanson might hold a grudge against Art. Also the owner, who just happens to be related to Bert could be a suspect.

This book is going to be a good mystery thriller and I am recommending it as good read.

Sounds like a really good thriller/crime story! Love a twist ending too, and I’m always impressed when authors tie up all loose ends neatly and cleverly. Thank you for a great and thorough review!

I like the "is she right?" aspect to the case. Many mysteries are very linear with clues being found, conclusions being drawn, and cases being solved. This sounds more like what probably happens in a real-life investigation.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

A good mystery novel with a strong female character? I'm up for it! Hopefully, our detective can solve this missing man case before something wrong happens.

I enjoy mystery/suspense novels, and I definitely enjoy the fact that this book has strong main characters. My only issue would be the grammar issues/inconsistent fonts, and the slow start of the plot. Slow starts often kill a book for me, and if a book isn't formatted well, it usually takes me out of the storyline. I will still give it a chance though! Great review!

The story is quite good and interesting. I have also tried to get some clues as to what might have happened to Flynn from the review. I only had a discovery that you had sealed it nicely that I have to read the full title. Thanks for a good review.

Right now I am really interested in the crime mystery genera. This one sounds like a great story with just some grammatical errors (which do not bother me all that much). I am excited for this one!

I like when a mystery novel is more than just a murder mystery. This one sounds a lot more complex, but with simple, easy-to-follow writing. Thanks for the review! I'll have to check this book out.

After reading the review this book sounds like it has a great story and mysterious plot. However I was a little disappointed to read this plot moves slowly. I lose interest quickly so not sure this would beva good read for me. Thanks for the honesty.

I'm usually up for crime thrillers and from your review, this one is no different. Despite the flaws, I'll still check it out, especially as the protagonist is a strong, intelligent female with ideals who still knows when to pipe down. Thanks for the review.

I like crime novels and this one seems interesting and engaging. Though the events in the book are being described from Detective Shane’s point of view, I'm glad that the author managed to write it in such a way that there is still the possibility that she might be wrong. It is really good that we have the opportunity to question the accuracy of her decisions as the events unfold until we finally figure out What Happened To Flynn.

Suspense is the whole idea of writing crime investigation books. Theme (FindingFlynn) may be lost in a mess somewhere but you still end up where the author wanted to at the end. Great constructive review. Will definitely go onto my want-to-read shelf
