The Lady Vanishes by Alison Sandy
A true crime mystery that intrigues from the outset.
The Lady Vanishes follows the determined search of Sally, whose mother, Marion Barter, disappeared twenty-seven years ago in 1997. Sally’s quest to have her mother officially listed as a missing person, despite inaction from the relevant authorities, leads her to team up with the Channel Seven investigative team.
The story takes readers through the twists and turns of the investigation, spanning the UK, Luxembourg and the hippyish atmosphere of Byron Bay. Along the way, Sally and the team encounter sweet tea shop workers, police officers, members of the school community where Marion once worked and even members of a cult.
Ultimately, the book uncovers a dangerous individual who preys on vulnerable women seeking love, revealing a series of crimes and multiple victims. This true crime account is meticulously researched and keeps the reader engaged until the very end.
A sensitive and thought-provoking read about what lies behind the face of a missing person.
