Amazon Customer: This series captured me from the very first read. The characters were relatable and kept me guessing as to what they would say and do next. The secrets held and the need to protect those we love and care for was spot on. Hope there will be more of Megan Carpenter, her superior, Tony, and her at first unwanted but later much appreciated partner.

DRRD: The mystery of the mother and child dissapearance was interesting, and I enjoyed seeing Megan and Ronnie work together.
It read as if there were a book missing between 3 and 4. The relationship between Megan and Dan, and Megan and her brother, felt glossed over. There would have been some recovery time for all involved from the last story, but it felt misssing here. Also, what was going on between Megan and her brother? That relationship felt as if it were being forced a bit. Especially at the end.
The epilogue felt a bit out-of-character, for everyone.
Not a bad story, but not as good as the others.

Frank/Theresa in Tennessee: Best one yet! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Couldn’t stop reading it for any reason. Kept me guessing until close to the end. Just because a person’s a jerk, that doesn’t make them a murderer. I liked that the mother and don weren’t killed.

Jamie Dickey: In the fourth installment of the Detective Carpenter series, there is no creepy stalker harassing and taunting Megan, threatening to expose her secrets. Was it Hayden all along? In Stillwater Island, a mother and son go missing, and Ronnie and Megan must unravel the who, what, and wherefore? The Megan psychosis seems missing in action as she's too busy giving hugs and solving crimes. It's rich to hear Megan judging others when she is always lying and breaking laws in both her professional and personal life.

Book reviews: This is my first Gregg Olsen book and although I started in the middle of a series, it didn't make any difference. Enjoyed this storyline and didn't quite work out what exactly happened, which is good. Enjoyed the characters who felt well developed. Will read more from this author.

T. Wood: Marlena Parker has a lot of good things in her life, not least a beautiful son, lovely home, and a father-in-law rich enough to own a private island. She also has an uncle who is a Sheriff in the Jefferson County Police Department who calls in his best officers when told Marlena is missing.
Detective Megan Carpenter spent a great deal of her childhood running from an abusive parent and seeing links between herself and the missing woman is sure Marlena's volatile husband Ben is responsible. With partner Ronnie Marsh she begins a frantic search for the young woman knowing time isn't on their side but failure isn't an option they can even begin to consider.
In this fourth Megan Carpenter book by the excellent Gregg Olsen she is up against very few clues, a wealthy, powerful family, and boss Tony's devastated sister-in-law. The action moves quickly and is seen from her point of view throughout. There is a lot of introspection but Megan is far less defensive than in the first few books and therefore more relatable.
I enjoyed this book as I have the previous three but I didn't feel there was quite as much jeopardy as usual. Not every case can relate to Megan's...
