Years have gone by, justice was served. The case closed. Until now.

The body of a woman, missing for twelve years, is discovered during a routine dig on a nature reserve. It’s up to DI Sally Parker and her team to revisit the evidence. Was the right man convicted? Are there more victims?

On-going investigations are piling on the pressure, forcing Sally to reach out to an old friend for help.

The team are driven to provide closure for the family, but can the killer escape conviction yet again?

From the New York Times Bestselling author who brought you the Justice Series, M A Comley now brings you The Missing Wife, the next gripping installment in the nail-biting DI Sally Parker Cold Case series.

I have to say from the few books that I have read of the DI Sally Parker series, that I really do love it.  Since it's dealing in cold cases, it has a slightly different vibe to M. A. Comley's other books,  and I find it fascinating as to how the police can solve things, so many years later. 

But what really elevates this book in my eyes, is that Lorne has come out of retirement once more and has joined Sally's team to attempt to right some wrongs of a bent officer.  

So my all time favourite detective is back and it meant i felt right at home with the characters, especially when we get to see what Tony is up to too.  I just hope this is the start of a whole bunch of books featuring Sally and Lorne. 

And the crimes being investigated are still despicable and we get to meet some really unpleasant criminals.  I really enjoyed seeing how friends and family react when a body if finally uncovered after 12 years.  

I was completely hooked on this, picking it up at every opportunity to see how the story would progress. 

And I just can't wait to see what will happen next in this series. 

Thank you to the author for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily,
