Before She Disappeared by Lisa Gardner
3.0
This is a new stand-alone book for Gardner!! Even though, after meeting Frankie, I doubt this will be a stand-alone for long! This book was inspired by a woman named Lissa Yellowbird-Chase who is a civilian who searches for missing persons for a living. I loved the premise of this book but it was a little too slow paced for me.
Frankie was a lovable character but I wish the Paul stuff was more laid out. I still have no idea about the true inner workings of their relationship so I wish that would have been laid out a bit more.
The story of the missing persons was interesting and I love Gardners writing but I feel like there was a lot of fluff. Most time I was reading I would be desperate to skip ahead to the next part of the story. I did find the Detective Lotham to be an addicting character. For fans of Gardner, people said they saw a lot of DD in Frankie but I see a lot of DD in Lotham! Overall, I am a huge Gardner fan, so I definitely recommend this. But I think comparing this to “Find Her” I wasn’t on the edge of my seat.
