The third novel in The Reluctant Detective Series.
'Find her,' Agnes Donald begged. 'Find my daughter.'
The words of a dying woman force Mirabelle to take on another case for the unofficial Missing Persons Bureau she runs from her Edinburgh flat.
Along with her assistant, Kay, she heads for the island of Skye where Esme Donald was last known to be. But is someone else looking for Esme too? And could Mirabelle's own daughter, Summer, be in danger?
Mirabelle had thought she and Summer were happy. Being a single parent may not be ideal, but they coped well with their situation. Sure, bringing up a teenaged girl on her own was hard work, and they had their ups and downs, but they were pals as well as mother and daughter. She might not have planned her, but she was certainly glad she had Summer, and would not have liked to be without her. They'd built a life together, sorted out some kind of routine, and were happy. On a day to day basis, Mirabelle reckoned that's all you could ask for.
Then Summer disappeared and Mirabelle was left searching for her daughter.
In Book One of this series, her search was centred in Edinburgh, widening out to include the Scottish countryside further North in Book Two. Now, in Book Three, Mirabelle is off to the Island of Skye.
