Description
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner, a propulsive thriller featuring an ordinary woman who will stop at nothing to find the missing people that the rest of the world has forgotten
Frankie Elkin is an average middle-aged woman, a recovering alcoholic with more regrets than belongings. But she spends her life doing what no one else will--searching for missing people the world has stopped looking for. When the police have given up, when the public no longer remembers, when the media has never paid attention, Frankie starts looking.
A new case brings her to Mattapan, a Boston neighborhood with a rough reputation. She is searching for Angelique Badeau, a Haitian teenager who vanished from her high school months earlier. Resistance from the Boston PD and the victim's wary family tells Frankie she's on her own--and she soon learns she's asking questions someone doesn't want answered. But Frankie will stop at nothing to discover the truth, even if it means the next person to go missing could be her.
Reviews
Before her disappearance
4By sagging eyelidIntriguing story line, somewhat moody, but well developed characters. Once into it, want to keep reading one more page and hard to put down.Trying too hard to be “woke”
1By beechbudI tried to give this book a chance even through the initial few chapters of realizing one of my favorite authors had obviously succombed to the woke ideologies but 70% through the book and I hustled can’t.A good read
4By roomcandyIt was a good read. A little drawn out in parts but overall kept me going until I finished. I decided to start on the next one in the seriesBefore She Disappeared
5By grdm 8Great book!! Had trouble putting it down.The Novel could be more eventful
3By Dollybolly1This novel lacked enthusiasm for the readerEh
3By Made me think of my own lifeFelt like this book was very long and drawn out when it didn’t need to be, I certainly struggled to get through itLeaves more questions than answers
2By ambersamusementIf you don’t like books without closure at the end, skip this one.Good book, slow at times
4By ShayA22Overall, this book held my attention well and kept me wanting to find out what was going to happen next. The last 1/3 of the book seemed to drag on and was somewhat monotonous. However, story line was strong and enjoyable.Did not disappoint
5By Gawjes1I think Frankie Elkin is my new favorite character. I was hooked from page 1. This story pulls you in fast. And Frankie?? She’s amazing.An amazing story
5By Phyllie5I’ve read other books by Lisa Gardner but I don’t think I ever cried after finishing one. A great story and a great character. I can’t wait to read what Frankie does next. I love to read and if a book is good enough I’ll even reread it…I’ll be rereading this one in the future.Sooo good.
5By JvjlpennI could barely put it down!‘White Savior’ kind of ruins it
3By SammyGrrrlI like Lisa Gardner books, and this story is OK. The plot is unique, but the white savior trope is beyond frustrating. Couldn’t the author introduce more diversity w/o a white woman stepping in to be the savior for missing woman of color?Good beach book
4By draya5Lot of twists and turns to keep you guessing. Easy, interesting read.Great Book!

5By LRovergirlGreat bookBefore She Disappeared
5By keep me seriesI loved the book! Started it this afternoon and finished it in one sitting! Tons of twists, and never predictable! Cried at the end! So good!!!I couldn’t stop reading!
5By Abqlady 1996I really enjoyed this as a change of pace; some of Gardner’s works were getting a little too intense and or psychotic for me, but this was addictive! Another story with this lead character would be amazing!Great read
