Their Lost Daughters by Joy Ellis. Published by Joffe
It was supposed to be a fun evening at a party, but things go terribly wrong when a young woman disappears. Emily and Toni went to the party together, but now Emily has disappeared and Toni has been found, out of her head, wandering through a field. Her memory is questionable as she has been heavily drugged, but she does remember seeing Emily dragged away. When a body is found on a nearby beach, it seems logical it might be Emily, but it’s another young woman. A woman who lost her own daughter years before believes the recent crime spree is related to her daughter’s death and urges police to connect the dots before another girl dies. As always, Ellis’s crime fiction is well researched and her characters believable and compelling
