In this fourth installment of the series, 17-year-old Ellie Scheen goes missing after befriending a pair of teens at an annual fair in Luxembourg. Her family is naturally frantic-especially her mother, with whom Ellie has had a turbulent relationship. Through letters to her absent daughter, Bridget reveals that she feels guilty because she is bored with her life and misses being the war zone nurse she was before becoming a wife and mother. The novel follows several other characters, including Cate Austin, a family friend, and a young Muslim teen named Amina who has come to the country to try to make a better life. As with previous novels in the series, the award-winning British author uses her experiences as a former probation officer to weave together a suspenseful story using various perspectives. Current world issues, such as child trafficking and the challenges of being an undocumented immigrant, play a big part in the plot. Although Cate's boyfriend is the lead detective trying to locate Ellie, it is Cate who uses her instincts and various clues to find the girl. VERDICT Hand this novel to teens who appreciate plot twists, for even after the orchestrator of the kidnapping is revealed, this cautionary tale is riveting until the last page.-Sherry J.
