Missing Woman: A Famous Author

Technically, mother and famous author, Ward DeFleur, hasn’t disappeared in any way that has involved the authorities. She has simply chosen to vanish after the devastating murder of her teenage daughter, Stevie. Enter Bree Bennett—a recently-divorced, former-journalist-cum-housewife—desperate to fill her days with something other than Pilates classes and grocery shopping. When she decides to try her hand at writing a piece devoted to finding her favorite author, she runs into resistance from Ward’s people, and danger from Stevie’s possible killer. Suspects emerge from every corner and the ending has a delicious surprise!
