My Review - MISSING - by Lisa Harris


5 out of 5 stars
MISSING by Lisa Harris, is the perfect follow-up to VENDETTA. Once again, we follow Nikki Boyd, a member of the Missing Person’s Task Force as she tries to find Lucy Hudson, the wife of a man who was murdered. The unfortunate twist, the murdered man ends up on her friend Tyler Grant’s boat. Immediately, Nikki proves Tyler—a widower who was once married to Nikki’s best friend—is innocent. Now, she must use what little clues she has to find out why Mac Hudson was murdered, and where his missing wife, Lucy Hudson is hiding. As the body count climbs, Nikki finds herself in the middle of a counterfeit drug ring that will stop at nothing to keep people from exposing their operation. If that isn’t enough, Nikki finds herself struggling with her growing feelings for Tyler. Knowing what she feels for Tyler far surpasses friendship; she’s not sure what to do. Tyler needs time to heal from the loss of his wife, but Nikki wants to be there for him when he’s ready to move on. However, finding the men who killed Mac Hudson, and who are now after her and Tyler is her first priority.

Lots of twists and turns keep reader’s guessing who is guilty and who is a victim in this thriller. Having Tyler and his father-in-law in the middle of the investigation makes it even more intriguing. Nikki wants to express her feeling to Tyler, but is afraid it’s too soon after his wife—Nikki’s best friend’s death. Instead, she decides to keep it professional between her and Tyler, at least until everyone is safe and out of danger.

I really enjoy Lisa Harris’ writing. She skillfully keeps the crime story moving while interjecting personal moments between characters. I can’t wait to see how Nikki and Tyler’s relationship develops in PURSUED, the third installment in the Nikki Boyd Files
