So when I picked up The Disappearance by Remigiusz Mroz there were two things I was not aware of at all. First, I had no idea that this was book to in the series. Yes. Yes. I know, typical me, right? I also never knew that this book was originally published in Polish and then translated to English. Now, the translation wasn’t an issue at all, what was an issue was the fact that it was book two and that there were a few times where I felt like I was missing something. If I had had more time, perhaps I would have sought out book one and read it first. But this, of course, is my fault. I should probably learn to read blurbs a bit more in the future.
With that said, let me set the scene: there’s a super fancy summer house, a missing three-year-old girl, security system blaring all night, and every single door and window locked tight. The investigators are scratching their heads because there's zero evidence of an abduction.
Enter our dynamic duo: Joanna Chylka, a total legal badass with years of experience, and her newbie sidekick Kordian Orynski. They're defending a couple who've been slapped with murder charges. The case? Totally circumstantial, but everything's pointing at the parents. Classic "when you eliminate the impossible" detective logic if you ask me.
Now, I’m a complete sucker for legal thrillers told from a lawyer's perspective, and this one hit the spot. My only tiny complaint? The ending felt a bit rushed. I was like, "Wait, what’s going on? Is that it?" But hey, maybe that's just the greedy reader in me wanting more.
