When Detective Callie Forde is called to the home of a missing teenage girl, she doesn’t initially suspect foul play. Hampstead is a quiet college town. It’s safe if you don’t count the other girl. But as the hours wear on with no sign of Natalie, the police are forced to consider the teenager might have been abducted.

No one is more surprised than Callie when all their leads are eerily similar to that of another case, the five-year-old cold case that ended with a botched investigation, a shooting, and her father in a wheelchair.

Determined not to make the same mistakes he made, Callie races to find the girl, avenge her father, and maybe, stop history from repeating itself.

Review for Last Girl Missing

I’m a huge cold case fan and especially enjoy when they solve the case (which happens every episode). Callie is a detective, just like her dad. What starts as a runaway teenager soon turns to a cases of a missing girl. While investigating, she realizes the girl was supposed to babysit for a family that doesn’t exist in a house that is for sale. Then she finds evidence that resembles a cold case her father originally worked. He’s her best resource. What a fantastic read with great characters you will cheer for while turning the pages in rapid succession. Highly recommend for the crime readers who love seeing cold cases solved.
