Now You See Them by Elly Griffiths
4.0
When a girl disappears from Roedean School DI Edgar Stephens is brought in to investigate. Now happily married to his former colleague Emma, Stephens is comfortable but misses the old days. At a funeral he meets up with old flame Ruby, now a TV star, and her father Max Mephisto, based in Hollywood. Their lives have diverged but when Ruby also disappears the team are brought together again.
It's a rather complex story to put into a précised but for fans of the Magic Men stories this will all make sense. I loved the way that times have moved on and the strong core of nascent feminism running through the book is great. Griffiths just knows how to tell a great story and her love of Brighton and its environs is at the heart.
