The Girl Who Disappeared Twice - Review

IT HAPPENED ONCE.
IT HAPPENED AGAIN.
BUT SHE COULDN’T STOP IT.
NOT THEN.
NOT NOW.
Despite all her years determining the fates of families, veteran family court judge Hope Willis couldn't save her own. If only she’d turned her head, she would have seen the car containing her daughter, struggling to get out.
Now she’s frantically grasping at any hope for Krissy’s rescue. Her husband dead-set against it, she calls Casey Woods and her team of renegade investigators, Forensic Instincts. A behaviorist. A techno-wizard. An intuitive. A former Navy SEAL. Unconventional operatives. All with unique talents, skills and personal reasons for being part of Casey’s team, they’ll do whatever it takes.

Able to accurately read people after the briefest of encounters, Casey leads her team to Krissy’s home. There she picks up the signs of a nervous spouse, a guilty conscience, a nanny that hides on her cell. She watches as secrets beg to creep into the open.

Forensic Instincts will dig through each tiny clue and eliminate the clutter. But time is running out, and even working around the clock, the authorities are bound by the legal system. Not so Casey’s team. For they know that the difference between bringing Krissy back alive and disappearing forever could be as small as a suspect’s rapid breathing, or as deep as Hope’s dark family history.

Review
Andrea Kane is a bestselling author but I have to admit this is the first one of her books I have read. I can tell you for sure it will not be the last.

When a child is kidnapped time is of the essence and finding the child becomes the priority of all the law enforcement agencies involved in the case. That sense of urgency is felt from the first chapter to the last and it makes for a very riveting read. The story moves along at a good pace and easily holds the reader's attention. And if the kidnapping of a small child is not enough to keep you on the edge of your seat add an unsolved mystery from the past. I loved all the twists and turns as I tried to figure out what could possibly happen next.

The story centers around Casey Woods and her team,
Forensic Instincts. Their techniques might not please the local FBI but those same techniques leave no stone unturned. I really like the characters Andrea Kane has created with the Forensic Instincts team and look forward to reading about more of their cases in the future.
