Description: Dawn is late. Natalie knows Dawn is NEVER late. When Dawn's desk phone rings and Natalie hears a plea for help, Natalie cannot sit by and do nothing. She put on her civilian investigator hat to find out what happened to Dawn. But her personal investigation turns into a real one, Natalie has all the attention on her. Natalie knows she's just trying to help, but what will the public think? Can Dawn be found? Is Natalie really innocent?
The good:
- You know some people call Freida predictable. I am not one of those people, I thought the twists were clever and I didn't see them coming.
- The character arcs of Dawn and Natalie were so unique to me, I would read more books with this type of character arc.
- The constant change in dynamics in this book kept me reading the book. It was extremely hard to put down!
- The idea of this happening in a workplace and moving the situation outside of the workplace was an interesting way of building the world the characters were in, without bogging us down with worldbuilding.
The loss of a half star: I didn't like how the book wrapped up? It was just odd to me and didn't leave me feeling as satisfied as the ending in the other 2 Freida books I've read.
Overall: If you're a Freida fan, this is another hit in my opinion.
