Nikki is back! Yes, Nikki Boyd is back with another intriguing case to solve in Lisa Harris' Missing.  After Vendetta (and reading the first look of Missing), I knew I had to read the second one in this series.  And it is just as entertaining as the first.

Missing was indeed full of action, mystery and a little romance. Though I 'm happy with the outcome of the romantic aspect of the story, I felt Nikki's constant "pining" and self-reserved a little too out of character, but it also makes it feel authentic. I mean, who haven't secretly love someone and question if there's more to it? I enjoyed this book's case  and all the questions that goes with it. I also liked the fact that Nikki's sister's case wasn't as prominent as it was in Vendetta, which I assume will be the closing case for the final book of the series.

What I do find lacking was a stronger faith message. However, the overall message of moving on and letting go does resonate with me. With that said, the highlight of the story really is the suspense aspect, which is what Missing is, a romantic suspense, and it hits its mark. Several plot twists were surprising, and definitely provided the entertaining factor. In all, a compelling story that can easily be read as a standalone, but would make for one great story when read as a series. Think of it like a TV mystery series, because Missing is as visual as it is suspenseful.
