This is a good mystery. The main character is Joe O'Loughlin a psychologist who was in a previous book. He is still separated from his wife and trying to keep up his relationship with his children and deal with his diagnosis of Parkinson's. He and daughter Charlie are in London where Joe is slated to give a lecture. He gets dragged into a case because of his expertise in profiling. A farm couple has been brutally murdered in their house. The scene of the crime was well-known to local police. It was the family home of Tasha, a teenager who disappeared three years ago along with her best friend, Piper. Piper actually begins the book with her narrative. Her 'journal' is interspersed in the whole book and allows us to slowly learn about those missing three years. Shortly after the murder of the couple the body of a young woman was discovered in nearby water. Joe is the one who figures out the identity of that unclaimed body. As usual there are several red herrings sprinkled throughout the book. Check it out if you like mysteries.
