"Exciting and fast-paced, "Vanished" by Irene Hannon grasped my attention at the beginning and didn't let go until the very end. I don't gravitate to suspense and crime dramas in books or on television, so "Vanished" was somewhat of an introduction to the genre. Hannon offered an addictive combination of mystery, romance, and characters with interesting backgrounds. With the exception of a few crime terms and acronyms that were new to me, I was able to easily follow the plot. The mystery was not complex, but there was enough intrigue to keep me turning the pages. For readers who like heart-pounding suspense, "Vanished" may be a bit too light and tame, resembling a Hallmark Channel mystery rather than "CSI." I found the degree of suspense to be ideal for my tastes, and there were moments that I found particularly tense. This was the first novel that I have read by Irene Hannon, but it will not be my last. "Vanished" was a nice diversion from the novels that I usually read. I look forward to reading future installments of the "Private Justice" series and discovering Hannon's other novels. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Revell through their book review program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions expressed above are my own.

Vanished Listener Reviews

" I really enjoyed this book...kept my attention "
— Kassidy, 7/25/2017 -
" A very strong book, that I read in less than 24 hours because I couldn't put it down. Great characters. Can't wait to read the stories of Cal's two partners, in this new series. One moment in the epilogue gave me chills, although it was foreshadowed earlier in the book and I had expected it. Even so, it punched my emotion button. "
— Sheri, 2/3/2014 -
" Interesting mystery with a bit of thought provoking subject matter. A little cheesiness on the romance part, but still worth the read. "
