About the Book

Agatha Award-nominated author Edwin Hill returns with his second book featuring Harvard librarian Hester Thursby--an intimate, intricate mystery as smart and complex as it is riveting. The Missing Ones is an intelligent, dark suspense novel that centers around a flawed female character who is a librarian and has a side business tracking down the lost. "This whodunit has broken family dynamics and a wonderfully complex and intricate mystery, plenty to engage readers looking for a new amateur detective to follow." -Library JournalSTARRED REVIEW "Intense...Hill is adept at building compassion for his characters in a tight-knit social web while implicating them in dark thoughts and actions. He remains a writer to watch." -Publishers Weekly Hester Thursby has given up using her research skills to trace people who don't want to be found. A traumatic case a few months ago unearthed a string of violent crimes, and left Hester riddled with self-doubt and guilt. Caring for a four-year-old is responsibility enough in a world filled with terrors Hester never could have imagined before. Finisterre Island, off the coast of Maine, is ruggedly beautiful and remote-the kind of place tourists love to visit, though rarely for long. But not everyone who comes to the island is welcome. A dilapidated Victorian house has become home to a group of squatters and junkies, and strangers have a habit of bringing trouble with them. A young boy disappeared during the summer, and though he was found safely, the incident stirred suspicion among locals. Now another child is missing. Summoned to the island by a cryptic text, Hester discovers a community cleaning up from a devastating storm-and uncovers a murder. Soon Hester begins to connect the crime and the missing children. And as she untangles the secrets at the center of the small community, she finds grudges and loyalties that run deep, poised to converge with a force that will once again shake her convictions about the very nature of right and wrong . . . Praise for Edwin Hill andLittle Comfort "A dark but compassionate psychological-thriller debut with great appeal for fans of Ruth Ware." -Booklist(starred review) "An increasingly tense plot and striking characters-in particular, compassionate, conflicted, loving Hester-make this a standout." -Publishers Weekly(starred review)
