What I say to mid-week


 Wednesday

Steve's got the gun range tonight. I'll be hanging with the boys.

 


In general, I find it hard to do beading during the week. The brain just doesn't want to engage after coming home from work, dealing with dinner, cleaning up, etc. But maybe I'll bead, maybe I'll read. 

 


Listening to the audiobook of BEFORE SHE DISAPPEARED by Lisa Gardner. 1st of 2 featuring Frankie Elkin, a missing persons volunteer.

 


 Frankie Elkin is an average middle-aged woman, a recovering alcoholic with more regrets than belongings. But she spends her life doing what no one else will--searching for missing people the world has stopped looking for. When the police have given up, when the public no longer remembers, when the media has never paid attention, Frankie starts looking. A new case brings her to Mattapan, a Boston neighborhood with a rough reputation. She is searching for Angelique Badeau, a Haitian teenager who vanished from her high school months earlier. Resistance from the Boston PD and the victim's wary family tells Frankie she's on her own--and she soon learns she's asking questions someone doesn't want answered. But Frankie will stop at nothing to discover the truth, even if it means the next person to go missing could be her.

 Published 2021; 395 pages (or 12 hours 7 minutes long)

Have a good day

 


Much love,
