I Wish You Missed Me: A Kit Doyle Mystery

Bonnie Hearn Hill. Severn, $28.99 (192p) ISBN 978-0-7278-8679-8

Hill’s harrowing third Kit Doyle mystery (after 2016’s Goodbye Forever) finds Kit, a former crime blogger and radio talk show host based in Sacramento, Calif., who’s now a seeker of missing persons, suffering from the traumatic residue of her last case—dizziness, anxiety attacks, depression, and what may be paranoia. Is she really being followed? Is she overreacting? When Farley Black, her best friend and former radio co-host, goes missing, Kit manages to pull herself together, determined to locate him. Fortunately, she’s joined in this quest by her street-smart friend, Virgie, whose breaking-and-entering skills come in handy as the duo follow the signal from Farley’s phone toward a rural area on the Redwood Highway close to Mendocino. What Kit finds there makes her question her ideas about friendship, loyalty, and love in this intense installment. [em]Agent: Laura Dail, Laura Dail Literary Agency. (Mar.) [/em]
