A review by lisaeirene
The Vanishing Season by Joanna Schaffhausen
4.0
Very solid, good mystery! Looking forward to a sequel.
Ellery Hathaway is a 28 year old cop in a small Massachusetts town with secrets. 14 years ago she was the lone survivor of a serial killer. Ellery hasn't told anyone of her past and changed her name to protect her past.
Three people disappear in her town and her chief isn't interested in her theories. But she's seen this before, obviously, yet she doesn't want to tell her cop coworkers why she has a bad feeling about these missing people. She finally decides to call the FBI agent who rescued her 14 years ago to ask him for help. Agent Reed Markham, struggling in his own life, immediately flies to Ellery to help.
The book is written very well and is compelling and hard to put down. I didn't particularly love Ellery, she was a bit naive and wishy-washy at times, but I did like the story a lot and didn't guess the ending!
