Summary
The last time anyone saw Veronica Goodman was the night of February 14, 1995. The only clue to her disappearance was a silver heart-shaped pendant found in the parking lot behind the bar where she worked. Twenty-seven years later, Veronica’s daughter, Kate, just a year old when her mother vanished, hires Past & Present Investigations to find out what happened that fateful night.
Calamity (Callie) Barnstable is drawn to the case, as the similarities to her own mother’s disappearance on Valentine’s Day in 1986 is hauntingly familiar. A disappearance she thought she’d come to terms with. That us, until Veronica’s case and five high school yearbooks take her back in time. A time before there were skeletons.

Mystery
I loved the narration of Laurie Harmon, who brings out the suspense and mystery.
Callie thought she has got over the disappearance of her mother. That was until a new client asks her to find what happened to their missing mother. There is similarities to Callie's mother's disappearance. As Callie is looking into it, she has many questions and after so long, it is hard to get answers. Are the two woman still alive and why walk away from their lives.

Missing
I did enjoy this book but must admit there was too many cases, characters and name changes and by the end of the book I was confused. Still not sure which cases got solved and even if the cases were connected, I might have to listen again to get it straight, which is a shame because the plot was good. Maybe it is a story better read than listened too. I liked the main characters, especially the new employee and it was fun recognising characters from the authors other series. This is the second book in the series but does work as a standalone.The plot was unusual with so many young girls going missing at the same time and all cold cases. As the mysteries are cold cases there is very little action and is more talking to old friends, piecing together the clues and hoping to come up with the right answer. With so much going on there is no time for a love interest but there certainly is family drama. I will be joining this series again because I liked the characters.
Calamity (Callie) Barnstable needs to take on a new case, despite the rest of the team having moved on. The case she gets is to similar to her own mother's disappearances for her to turn down. In fact she ends up with more than one, each a young mother who goes missing around the same time. Can Callie do what the police were unable to do and workout what happened to them all? And maybe even her mother's own case? The same policeman worked the cases and is willing to work with Callie as much as he can, without crossing a line. She also hires a young teen to bring different and fresh ideas to the table and finally Callie's ex a computer hacker lends a hand.
I liked the narrator. She had a pleasant voice.
