And Now She’s Gone

Private Investigator Grayson Sykes is on her very first case searching for missing woman, Isabel Lincoln. The PI firm Gray works for is hired by Isabel’s boyfriend, Cardiologist Ian O’Donnell. Ian may be a Doctor, but that doesn’t make him trustworthy. It truthfully seems like he doesn’t care too much that Isabel is missing, but more that she took his beloved dog, Kenny G with her.
As Gray investigates this case, we are taken on a journey between present and past tense; It’s a complex wild ride! The story zigs and zags between investigating Isabel’s whereabouts and the past abusive relationship of Natalie Dixon who is abused by her husband Sean. It’s really hard to explain these characters without giving too much of the story away! And the biggest question of all - Is Isabel alive and does she even want to be found!?
While at times Gray seemed sad, abused alcohol, and was on the brink of self destruction, I still found her to be a very likable and relatable character. I enjoyed her and her co-workers/friends at the PI firm.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t recommend this book enough! It’s a wild ride and unpredictable right up until the end! Thank you to @netgalley and Macmillan-Tor/Forge for the eARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
