REVIEW: "Vanished" by Irene Hannon

Description {from back cover}: Reporter Moira Harrison is lost. In the dark. In a thunderstorm. When a lone figure suddenly appears in the beam of her headlights, Moira slams on her brakes — but it’s too late. She feels the solid thump against the side of her car before crashing into a tree on the far side of the road. 

A man opens her door, tells her he saw everything, and promises to call 911. Then the world fades to black. When she comes to, she is alone. No man. No 911. No injured person. But she can’t forget the look of terror she saw on that face in the instant before her headlights swung away. And she can’t get anyone to believe her story — except maybe a handsome ex-homicide detective turned private eye, who reluctantly agrees to take on the case. 

As clues begin to surface, it becomes obvious that someone doesn’t want this mystery solved — and will stop at nothing to protect a shocking secret.

I read Irene Hannon’s other book, “Eye for An Eye“, several years ago, and remember being so impressed by it. There had been no spelling or grammatical errors, and the storyline flowed almost effortlessly. This book was no different.

I was drawn into the story right from the beginning, and Ms. Hannon is great at leaving you guessing, throwing in twists and turns at just the right points to keep the story intriguing and moving along. The attraction between Moira and the PI was done really well, too, building at just the right pace.

There are hints of a Christian theme, but nothing so overt as to make it “preachy”, and therefore, I still think even those without a Christian bent would enjoy this story. Overall, I loved this book, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great romantic mystery.
