Every Waking Hour by Joanna Schaffhausen

5.0

I have a book hangover. Wow.
I haven't read the previous books on this series- the author did a great job giving backstory without slowing the book.
Chloe is at a Boston festival with her nannie, Mimi. She goes to get an ice cream - and is gone.
FBI agent Reed and BCP Detective Ellery happen to be at the same festival- Ellery quickly gets BCP on it with a description. Then she finds Chloe's abandoned cell phone.
The parents do all they can to help- but with their busy professions, Mimi is the main caregiver. Martin may be having an affair. Teresa's first child, Trevor, had been murdered - still unsolved.
Ellery and Reed struggle with their own relationship as Ellery and her partner Dorie sift through leads. Ellery is the only surviving victim of Coben - a serial killer who snatched Ellery on her 14th birthday. Reed saved her - forging a massive connection.
Great plot. Fast paced. Intense suspense. And the twists - stellar.
