Recovering alcoholic Frankie Elkin has devoted her life to searching for lost and forgotten missing persons. Frankie faces resistance from the police and the victim's family in the case of missing Haitian teen, Angelique Badeau.
I love Lisa Gardner's books, and this one did not disappoint !! I loved the character, and hope she writes more about her, maybe a series .. Definitely worth the read !!
Lisa Gardner's BEFORE SHE DISAPPEARED is another thriller that is well crafted with an interesting story line and characters. I try not to do spoilers, so I won't. I will say that the early pages where you get acquainted with the heroine of this story is bit slow, but necessary to setting the stage for what happens during the story as well as the "before" backstory - both are essential to what happens as the plot unfolds. Well worth reading the whole book!
Interesting major characters but the mystery that was the subject of the novel did not hold my attention. Really surprised to not like a Lisa Gardner book.
Another good book by Lisa Gardner. This is a new character but I do not believe that this is the last time we see her. She was strong character that was flawed but driven on her task to find missing people. Great read.
I love, love, love Lisa Gardner. I absolutely blow through her books, and I finish them in a matter of just a few days. That being said, I don't think this was her strongest offering. However, I liked Frankie A LOT and would love more books about her. The way this novel ended... there's gotta be more, right? Please?!
"My name is Frankie Elkin and finding missing people is what I do. When the police have given up, when the public no longer remembers, when the media has never bothered to care, I start looking."
I flew through this standalone from Lisa Gardner like I was an elite runner in the Boston Marathon. Frankie is a flawed, but fascinating protagonist. She has come to Boston to help find a missing teenager. This is her fifteenth missing persons case. Maybe this will be the first one she finds alive. Frankie has some intuitive detective skills and is a genius at interrogation. Would love to see another Frankie Elkin book if Gardner should choose to write it.
