Guardian Bookshop Notes:

In rural Devon, Joanna Mason witnesses an appalling crime, and 30 years later, the man convicted is released from prison. Meanwhile, a GP goes missing but no one seems concerned except his babysitter, and the Detective Chief Inspector searches for another missing person, little knowing that her old friend is about to be killed. 'An exhilarating read. Her wry humour, sharp eye for quirks of human behaviour and subtle characterisation are a constant joy' "Daily Mail"

Publisher's description:

In Edinburgh, 16-year-old Reggie works as a nanny for a GP. But Dr Hunter has gone missing and Reggie seems to be the only person who is worried. Detective Chief Inspector Louise Monroe is also looking for a missing person, unaware that hurtling towards her is an old friend - Jackson Brodie - himself on a journey that becomes fatally interrupted.
