I received this digital arc from NetGalley and publisher in exchange for an unbiased review.

Maggie O’Farrell owns a hair salon called Bubbles and Blowouts which helps pay the bills after her husband Frank died. He was a police lieutenant who was gunned down on the job. It never seemed clear what happened that day. Maggie’s main concern is her empty nest after her daughter, Emma leaves to attend Semper University. Although she tries to trust her daughter’s new found independence, she can’t help but worry about her. The daily calls begin to annoy and embarrass Emma whose roommates find ridiculous. The one comforting factor about Emma going to college was that her best friend Sarah would be there.

Just when Maggie starts to relax and focus on herself, there’s an increased in college campus crimes. Then, Maggie gets the call no mother wants to get...that her daughter is missing. Maggie will not let anyone stop her from finding her daughter including the police. She uses her intuition of years living with a police detective to track down the missing pieces of the story.

Unfortunately, Emma’s roommates are not very cooperative with their own secrets to hide. This is a page turner as the story flows back and forth between mother’s search for her daughter and her daughter’s search for justice. Amazing story which keeps your interest to the last page.
