6.13.2017 - Persons Unknown

Persons Unknown by Susie Steiner

Thanks so much to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read and review her latest book - which I loved!

I was a huge fan of Missing, Presumed and was excited that it was the beginning of a series centering around Manon - a police investigator. This book begins with Manon moving back to Cambridgeshire from London, with her adopted son Fly, her sister Ellie and her son. Fly is not happy with their move - he's the only black student in school, he misses his friends and Manon is pregnant. Meanwhile, Manon has to take a job in cold cases instead of being a lead investigator as she was previously. She's now ambivalent about the upcoming baby too. Then Ellie's ex-husband is found murdered and Fly becomes a suspect.

The story is told in different voices which leads to lots of background but still lots of questions. How well do we know our families? I loved getting reacquainted with Davy, now lead investigator on Fly's case. Susie Steiner is a wonderful author and this is a highly-recommended series! I can't wait for the next one...
