Missing Persons

STARRED REVIEW! A well-constructed plot, credible characters, and an insightful exploration of the grieving process make for an absorbing read.
-Publisher’s Weekly

TOP PICK! There’s not a single sentence in this novel that isn’t thoroughly enjoyable.
-RT Book Reviews

A fine, funny, and felicitous combination of traditional pot-boiler mystery novel and rather touching — even profound –character study.
-Pamela Kramer/ Examiner.com

Clare O’Donohue writes in a clear, strong voice with a style that flows from one page to the next as she expertly lays out the mystery and deftly keeps the reader guessing.
-NY Journal of Books

Breezy but intelligent … this reader would welcome another appearance by the all-too-real Kate.
–Cleveland Plain Dealer

What makes O’Donohue’s writing so compulsively readable is how realistically she draws her main characters.
-Bookloons

Fascinating characters, multi-faceted story lines, and plenty of action…MISSING PERSONS is an entertaining read that pulls the reader in from the first.
-Midwest Book Review

“Missing Persons” has a harder edge than O’Donohue’s “Someday Quilts” series, but her ability to craft a true whodunit with a smart and agreeable amateur sleuth is unchanged. With an ingenious and unexpected solution, “Missing Persons” will have readers eagerly waiting for showtime on Kate’s next case.
-Richmond Times-Dispatch

A clever and engrossing mystery…the trajectory of the investigation goes off in unexpected and original directions.
-Mostly Fiction

Kate’s ironic sensibility and pragmatic point of view drive this brisk, engaging mystery.
-Minneapolis Star Tribune

This will be an author you add to your reading list frequently.
-True Crime Book Review

Perfect for fans of Hank Phillippi Ryan’s “Charlotte McNally” series (Prime Time), this title provides a true traditional mystery with two puzzles to solve and plenty of motives.
- Library Journal

Kate’s life as a television producer is interesting and she makes a great and sympathetic detective. Here’s hoping there’s more to come from her.
-Parkersburg News & Sentinel

A smart and cynical sleuth.
-Kirkus Reviews

I can’t recommend MISSING PERSONS enough!
-Fresh Fiction

Don’t pass this one up!
-Night Owl Reviews

Clare’s new novel is both suspenseful and engaging, and one that not only will fans of her previous series love, but one that will surely bring her an entire new group of fans who will eagerly await her next outing!
-New Mystery Reader

**** FOUR STARS!
-Huntress Book Reviews

“By turns sincere and cynical, humorous and lyrical, Kate Conway insinuates her way into your soul and demands your attention.”
-Libby Fischer Hellmann, author of the Ellie Foreman and Georgia Davis series

“The funny, slightly jaded Kate is the best new sleuth in a long time.”
-Sandra Dallas, New York Times best-selling author of Whiter Than Snow

“With an insider’s knowledge of how TV crime shows are put together, Clare O’Donohue has created a smart, delightful new detective in producer Kate Conway.”
