I enjoy all of Joy Elli's novels that I have read. In this book I liked the relationships between the main characters Jackman and Marie and also the camaraderie between all the police officers working with them. The plot and suspense were interesting with lots of twists and turns also and a satisfactory ending.

When Detective Rowan Jackman gets a call early one morning that a body has been found on a beach he could never imagine where the case would lead. Missing teenagers, a cold case of a kidnapped child, and who is behind the drink parties.
A very interesting mystery, some good characters and another excellent read from the author.

THEIR LOST DAUGHTERS by Joy Ellis. An early morning call to Jackson, a girl's body has been found. The coastline area is without humans, just landscape and the sea. Was it the missing girl, the tides, could they have battered the body, dental records were needed. He summoned by the superintendent, top prioty is a cold case, she wants a closer on it. Figuring him and his partner Marie have what is needed.
They are both uneasy about this case. The biggest unsolved case in a decade. Then he is summons to take another case, generous benefactor of the police.. Could be just a missing girl, or all of them connected. What's going on at the marsh, can Jackson and his team find the clues and solve. Given ARC by Net Galley for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.

It was supposed to be a fun evening at a party, but things go terribly wrong when a young woman disappears. Emily and Toni went to the party together, but now Emily has disappeared and Toni has been found, out of her head, wandering through a field. Her memory is questionable as she has been heavily drugged, but she does remember seeing Emily dragged away. When a body is found on a nearby beach, it seems logical it might be Emily, but it’s another young woman. A woman who lost her own daughter years before believes the recent crime spree is related to her daughter’s death and urges police to connect the dots before another girl dies. As always, Ellis’s crime fiction is well researched and her characters believable and compelling
