Last Seen Alone by Laura Griffin

 

At first Austin homicide detective Brandon Reynolds wasn't sure why he'd been called out of a warm bed.  An abandoned car stood on the side of a rural road but that's not necessarily out of the ordinary.  But when blood was found on the car and a larger pool of blood right off the road, he knew something wasn't right.  Vanessa Adams is the car's owner and no one in her family or any of her friends knows where she is.  There is only one other clue in the car; a business card for a local attorney, Leigh Larson.

Brandon has never met Leigh and when he does he is immediately put off.  She is not willing to discuss Vanessa at all or even confirm if she is a client.  Instead Leigh is determined to find Vanessa by herself which also puts her at odds with Brandon.  Leigh specializes in stalking cases and cases of revenge porn and there is a good possibility that Vanessa is caught up in one or the other.  As the case gets more grim with each discovery, Leigh and Brandon are thrown together more and more and the sparks start to fly.  Will their attraction come to anything or are they fated by their jobs to always be at odds?

This is my first book by Laura Griffin but I'll be reading more.  The case was interesting and the slow unveiling of the mystery and those behind it was done extremely well.  I listened to this title and the narrator was perfect for this book.  This book is recommended for mystery readers.
