Sara Blaedel
Following the incredible success of Sara Blaedel's #1 international bestsellers The Forgotten Girls and The Killing Forest, Louise Rick--head of the police department's elite Special Search Agency charged with missing persons cases--returns in Sara's latest twist-filled suspense novel . . . A housewife is the target of a shocking, methodical killing. Shot with a hunting rifle through her kitchen window, the woman is dead before she hits the ground. Though murdered in England, it turns out that the woman, Sofie Parker, is actually a Danish citizen who's been on the Missing Persons list for almost two decades--so Louise Rick is called on to the case. Then, in an unexpected twist, the police discover that Sofie had been reported missing eighteen years ago by none other than Eik, Louise Rick's police colleague and lover. Impulsive as ever, Eik rushes to England, and ends up in jail on suspicion of Sofie's murder. Completely blindsided by Eik's connection to the case, Louise is thoroughly unsettled and sick with worry, yet she must set aside her own emotional turmoil if she hopes to find the killer in what will become her most controversial case yet... "Crime-writer superstar Sara Blaedel's great skill is in weaving a heartbreaking social history into an edge-of-your-chair thriller while at the same time creating a detective who's as emotionally rich and real as a close friend." -- Oprah.com "One of the best I've come across." -- Michael Connelly "Sara Blaedel is a force to be reckoned with. She's a remarkable crime writer who time and again delivers a solid, engaging story that any reader in the world can enjoy." -- Karin Slaughter "Leads to...that gray territory where compassion can become a crime and kindness can lead to coldblooded murder." -- New York Times Book Review

"I have received the chance to review this book from Netgalley!! <br/><br/>It's almost unfair that i have received the chance to review this book! I LOVE Sara Blaedel! I have actually read the other books in this series and I have been waiting for this book to come out! I have read 3 out of 6 of the Louise Rick series and have loved every one of them so far!!! This book can be read as a standalone but I would recommend reading atleast "The missing persons" Trilogy to get some of the back story on Eik and his missing girlfriend!<br/><br/>With that said, I was actually a little annoyed with Louise in this book! I understand how she could be mad or upset with Eik after he just took off out of no where, and maybe even understand the jealousy she might have been feeling when she found out why he took off. But After everything he went through standing by her with the Klaus situation you'd think she could have tried to be a little more understanding!! This woman vanished out of his life, has been missing for 18 years! How could he not want to know what is going on when he gets that call !? She could have atleast given him the chance to settle down and rest and then maybe try to get more answers out of him before kicking him the hell out!! She was being REALLY unreasonable in this book imo! Anyway i loved the plot of this book, Sara Blaedel ALWAYS keeps things interesting to say the least, I would have liked to maybe read a little more of what was going on Eik's head during all this going on, Maybe he could have a little more time to explain things to Louise after or get his side of the story right! I love Camilla, the way she goes off and does her own thing and investigates! It's almost funny that she usually finds out he information faster then the police do, sometimes i wish her and Louise would communicate more sometimes so we could figure out information faster and get the ball rolling more quickly. I love that we are going to see another side of Eik in the future books, I love his character and am excited to see how his and Steph's relationship progresses in the future! Thank you Netgalley for letting me get this book faster!!!"
