SYNOPSIS - 

THE SEARCHING MOTHER
Miranda Steele. Smart-talking, hot pepper-eating loner whose abusive ex-husband stole her baby and gave it up for adoption. She comes to Atlanta to hunt for her daughter.

THE PI
Wade Parker. Wealthy owner of the Parker Investigative Agency and most eligible forty-four-year-old bachelor in Atlanta. He still mourns the death of his socialite wife but must now solve a disturbing murder case.

THE MURDERER
A serial killer strangling young girls in a bizarre ritual. Why?

She doesn't need a man.

He needs to find a killer.

Together, can they save a thirteen year old girl?

Often you get into the habit of reading the same authors over and over. Once in a while it good to break away and try other authors. I certainly wasn't disappointed with this novel by Linsey Lanier. A new Author to me. 

This mystery is number 1 in the series. A read of less than 300 pages, so it was quite a nice fit for me. 

I loved the main character, Miranda from the start. If you've read any Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich, Miranda reminded me a bit of a Stephanie. Quite clumsy, amateurish but feisty and determined. 

This novel follows Miranda who is determined to find her Daughter who her abusive ex-Husband had adopted 13 years ago. She heads to Atlanta to start her search. She gets herself into trouble not long after being there, so enter Wade Parker, the wealthy and handsome PI. 

Throw in a few murders, a bit of humour and some twists and turns and you've got a good read. The novel kept me gripped and therefore I will certainly be checking out more books by Linsey Lanier. This was a nice easy read. 

At the time of writing this book was free on the Kindle.
