Missing you by Harlan Coben

    Kat Donovan is a NYPD Detective. It's a family deal. Her father was a cop too. Feeling lonely and maybe just a little desperate, Kat signs on to a dating website. What she finds is a picture of the man who broke her heart 18 years before and then disappeared. Surprised that she still has feelings for Jeff, Kat responds to the ad. But the answers don't make sense to her and she becomes suspicious.

    What Kat begins to unravel, with the help of a missing woman's computer geek son, is frightening. People are murdered and dark secrets from the long ago begin to surface as her investigation deepens. She must find Jeff and get answers before more innocent victims die, no matter what she must face in the present or from the past.

    I enjoyed this book because Kat was not a perfect heroine. I liked her misguided tenacity, faults and blind spots. They made her real. I figured out most of the plot but there was enough that took me by surprise to make it tense and keep me reading intently until the end.

    A great read, as always, from Coben.
