Her husband's death may or may not have been murder and she just can't let that go. In the middle of all this, she gets offered a new television show called Missing Persons. It's a show that lets Kate do what she does best: interview people left behind after a loved one disappears. Her first show is built around a missing girl named Theresa. She walked out of her door one day and just never returned. After missing for a year, there have been no clues as to what became of her. It's Kate's job to interview her family, friends and ex-lovers to see just what may have become of Theresa.

Getting to the bottom of her husband's death has become very important to Kate, but everyone around her is acting odd. So it may take a bit longer to figure it all out, especially if she ends up sitting in jail as a suspect. There are too many questions to be answered for her to be trapped in that way.

Simultaneously, Kate finds herself more and more intrigued by Theresa's story, especially the more people she meets that show a different side of Theresa. With an overbearing and over protective mother, violent brother, a rather indifferent boyfriend and a stalker ex-boyfriend looming over her, could she have just walked away from everyone? One thing is clear, Theresa was a different person to friends than she was to family.

As Kate tries to unravel these two mysteries, she becomes a target herself. She must figure out which case her threats are tied to if she's going to make it through alive.

Clare O'Donohue also writes the Someday Quilt Mysteries but the Kate Conway Mysteries are a bit less "cozy." However, these books grab you and don't let go until the final page. I can't recommend MISSING PERSONS enough! It feels as if you're backstage at the production of a show, which is exactly what you're doing when you read this book. Everything ties together nicely so you're left with no loose ends, but there are plenty of surprises along the way.
