Gone Astray
Series: DC Maggie Neville
One summer morning, Lesley Kinnock returns to the sprawling Buckinghamshire home she and her husband bought after winning £18 million on the EuroMillions, to discover that their 15-year-old daughter is missing.
DC Maggie Neville is assigned to be Family Liaison Officer to Lesley and her husband Mack. It’s Maggie’s job to support the parents as the search gets underway, while at the same time surreptitiously trying to unearth any information that might have any bearing on the missing girl’s whereabouts. It’s a delicate balancing act, and Maggie also has a point to prove to her colleagues after being suspended from the last case she worked on.
Told from both Lesley and Maggie’s point of view, GONE ASTRAY is a compelling novel with a unique heroine positioned at the very heart of the investigation.
Michelle Davies has an enormously engaging writing style, and has produced a thought-provoking and twisty first novel with a wide appeal.
