Another good mystery by Jodie Lawrance. I had read and reviewed two by her a few years ago (https://www.jackreidy.com/blog/tag/jodie-lawrance/). So I was happy to see this available. I thank both Netgalley (https://www.netgalley.com) and Joffe books (https://joffebooks.com/) for the chance to read this before publication. The book is “The Missing Woman” by Jodie Lawrance.

This is the 4th in the DS Helen Carter series. Years ago her father had arrested a serial killer known as the Button Killer who was sent to prison. Now the murders have started again with the same MO.

Did her father cause the wrong man to be jailed? If so, why did the murders stop for years?

Are these murders being done by the real Button Killer or a copycat?

Will Helen stop these murders and catch this killer?

Jodie Lawrance tells the story well. I enjoyed this story and recommend this book.
