Missing, Presumed by Susie Steiner
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thanks to Random House via NetGalley for the free ARC copy of Missing Presumed: DS Manon #1 by Susie Steiner.

This is a well-written novel and the character development is excellent. I do not know why this book did not wow me, it had many perfect ingredients.

I did enjoy the truth of the single-angst-nearing-the-end-of-childbearing-years subplot regarding DS Manon. It brought to mind the desperation felt by the single women in "Sex and the City."

I like crime novels and expected something different than what the story is. I gave this a five-star rating because it is only my own expectations of a strong female protagonist that left me disappointed.

I have recommended this to other readers.
