Note Sequel to: Gone, baby, gone.
Summary Amanda McCready was four years old when she vanished from a Boston neighborhood twelve years ago. Desperate pleas for help from the child's aunt led investigators Kenzie and Gennaro to take on the case. The pair risked everything to find the young girl, only to orchestrate her return to a neglectful mother and a broken home. Now Amanda is sixteen and gone again. A stellar student, brilliant but aloof, she seemed destined to escape her upbringing. Yet Amanda's aunt is once more knocking on Patrick Kenzie's door, fearing the worst for the little girl who has blossomed into a striking, clever young woman, a woman who hasn't been seen in weeks. Haunted by their consciences, Kenzie and Gennaro revisit the case that troubled them the most. Their search leads them into a world of identity thieves, methamphetamine dealers, a mentally unstable crime boss and his equally demented wife, a priceless, thousand-year-old cross, and a happily homicidal Russian gangster. It's a world in which motives and allegiances constantly shift and mistakes are fatal. In their desperate fight to confront the past and find Amanda McCready, Kenzie and Gennaro will be forced to question if it's possible to do the wrong thing and still be right or to do the right thing and still be wrong. As they face an evil that goes beyond broken families and broken dreams, they discover that the sins of yesterday don't always stay buried and the crimes of today could end their lives.

SRP 2011 REVIEW: A follow-up to Gone Baby Gone, this is a fine, fast-paced mystery. Set in Boston, the Kenzie/Gennaro series has thrived on detail of place and interesting characters. This entry is no exception. The only failing is that some of the twists are foreseeable, but this detracts only slightly from the propulsive story-telling.

SRP 2011 REVIEW: I had previously read Shutter Island by the same author, this book was much slower and not as well written. It had an unpredictable ending which I liked but overall was not as good as Shutter Island.
