Missing Eden

Angela Matelli is a private investigator in Boston. She receives a call from Ev Morrow who was her superior in the Marines. He wants to hire her to find his 14 year old daughter, Edie. His unstable ex-wife kidnapped her three months ago. The only clue he has is a collect phone call Edie tried to make to him. They were disconnected but he managed to trace the call to a phone booth in the Boston area. He has had himself temporarily transferred to Boston while he tries to find her.Angela takes the case, finds the ex-wife but discovers that Edie hasn't been seen for a week. Then the body of a young girl washes up on the beach. It isn't Edie but is her best friend. Where is Edie?????It's a fast moving story made even more interesting by Angela's large Italian family. There's a Sunday family dinner that was really fun to read. She also makes the Boston area come alive.This is the second in a well written series. I'm looking forward to the next one.
