Product Description
Product Description
Something is amiss at a small primary school in the village of Horton. A local man, Joshua Baldwin, has been sitting in his car outside the school watching the children as they play. So DI Joanna Piercy is called out to investigate. She meets with the teachers and with Baldwin and eventually decides there is nothing to worry about. She is terribly wrong. A few days later little Madeline Wiltshaw goes missing from her home in Horton. Joanna is distraught that she trusted her gut instinct so implicitly, that she was not more suspicious of Baldwin. And the coming weeks will be a testing time for Joanna, as she desperately tries to find young Madeline. But with foot and mouth disease ruling the surrounding countryside off-limits, Joanna's task is made doubly difficult...

Very good police procedural
12 Jun 2010
Format:Paperback
This author has put together an amazing main character in Joanna Piercy. She's not afraid of her true self and that extends through her personal and professional life. In the death and disappearance of Madeline, DI Piercy rounds up everyone who contributed to the little girl's demise and holds them all accountable, which offers a satisfying conclusion for the case.
Ms. Masters' writing is solid and well-paced, her characters realistic, and her story interesting. Should I come across any more of her books, I'll be sure to pick them up.
