When Leicester Detective Cal Fisher is called to investigate the disappearance of shop girl Tess Hardy, it appears the woman has simply run away. But as he looks closer into Tess’s life, he discovers all is not as it seems.
Tess’s boyfriend is also not all he seems.
Mike, a deeply traumatised ex-soldier, is fated to continually repeat the pattern of abandonment that has shaped his troubled life.
Tess, left alone without food, shelter or warm clothing on a remote Scottish island, has little hope of survival. Frozen and starving, she reaches deep inside herself to search for an inner strength she doesn't believe she possesses.
And as Cal delves deeper into Mike’s past, the terrible realisation dawns that he’s no longer searching for a missing woman.
Now he’s hunting a serial killer

"Abandoned by Jeanette McCarthy"
Brilliant. Well crafted, beautifully written and exciting. A good book for a long weekend as I found it hard to put down once I started reading. Sometimes when I did, it was hard to leave the Scottish Highlands behind and get back to my familiar surroundings. The characters also came to life and I felt that I really cared what became of them.
I look forward to Jeanette McCarthy's next book.

6 stars out of 6
I was very disappointed to find out this was a first time author as I enjoyed her book so much I was looking forward to reading many more, now I will have to be patient! I was also surprised that she is a first time author as the quality of writing is up there with the likes of Ian Rankin and similar, although of a different style.
It was very difficult to put the book down to get on with everyday life; if I could have I would have read it non-stop. The characters were very well developed and there were no inconsistencies – unlike even some famous authors.
I very much look forward to reading her next books.

"Abandoned by Jeanette McCarthy"
I believe this is Ms McCarthy's first book, well what I found was an first class story, a sense of being there, knowing the characters and a different ending, all of this in only 292 quick pages.
Satisfying reading, what more do you need!
I think it would make a super Christmas gift for a good friend, avid reader or not and as John Craggs says "Well worth a read".
