People don't just vanish without a trace... or do they? When Sally Child disappears after a night out with a mystery date, those closest to her know something's wrong. Some believe she left willingly. But her family and local journalist Audrey Lord aren't convinced. Sally was steady, reliable. She wouldn't just disappear. As Audrey investigates, a different picture of Sally begins to emerge-tensions at work, fractures in her friendships, and secrets she kept even from those who knew her best. But the biggest questions remain: Who was her date? Why hasn't he come forward? And what was Sally hiding? Missing persons cases have a time limit, and for Sally, time is running out. Audrey is determined to find answers before Sally becomes just another face on a missing person's poster. But as the investigation takes an unexpected turn, the threads finally come together. The only question now: are they too late? The Vanished is the third gripping mystery in the Audrey Lord Investigates series-perfect for fans of Sally Rigby, Elly Griffiths, and Dervla McTiernan. 5.0 out of 5 stars My kindle pages were on fire "This is the third mystery by G C Chase, featuring journalist Audrey Lord, and my favourite to date. I literally could not flick my kindle pages quickly enough as I had to know the outcome. The novel had me from the start and its pacing kept me completely enthralled."
