I give this short read
a 4.
This is your basic detective story run down with a pretty
woman in the lead. Mercy, a Marilyn look-a-like, goes undercover at shady bar
to help her dad solve a missing person’s case, which turns out to be pointless
in her efforts, but does serve a purpose near the end of the story. It’s a very
short read that packs in quite a bit of detail, stats, and imagery, leaving the
reader feeling as if it has been a longer and equally satisfying read.
The story line was pretty good with just the right amount of
twists, right down to the pun in the title.
A guy goes missing after a girl he’s involved with is drugged and
abandoned and then brutally assaulted. Everyone wants to know what part the
missing beau had to play in the girl’s attack, since he was the last one she
was seen with before the violence ensued.
I’m pretty good at solving tv and movie crimes and
mysteries, so I wasn’t disappointed when I figured out “who done it” before the
big reveal… beside it was still a pretty good reveal. This is a great read for
sitting in waiting rooms, traffic, or any other waiting scenario. I think this
is a good short read for any mature teen, pending parental approval, and adult
who wants an easy read filled with suspense.
