Blurb:
She
wakes surrounded by an inky black darkness and can barely breathe. A
sack is covering her head, and her hands are tied behind her back.
She desperately tries to struggle free as she hears footsteps walking
toward her. She silently starts to cry as a chilling voice whispers
“It’s time to pay for what you did…”
When Detective
Amanda Steele is
called to the murder scene of a young gas station clerk just before
dawn, she assumes it must be a robbery gone tragically wrong. But
when she discovers nothing has been stolen, she knows the motive must
be far more personal.
Watching the security footage,
Amanda is shocked to witness the cold-blooded killer not only shoot
the clerk dead but abduct a customer. And her heart stops when she
recognizes the customer as her former colleague, Katherine
Graves.
As Amanda breaks the news to Katherine’s heartbroken Aunt May,
she vows to do whatever it takes to bring her niece home
alive.
Desperate for a lead, Amanda and her
partner, Trent,
search Katherine’s home. Soon, they discover that despite no longer
being with the police department, Katherine has a long list of very
dangerous enemies. Enemies who have been sending her anonymous
letters promising revenge.
The more Amanda digs into
Katherine’s past, the longer her list of suspects becomes. But when
May is sent a ransom demand and a picture of Katherine close to
death, Amanda knows time is running out. With only hours left to find
Katherine alive, Amanda is prepared to risk everything to keep her
promise to May, even her own life…
A completely
pulse-pounding and unputdownable crime thriller, perfect for fans of
Angela Marsons, Robert Dugoni and Rachel Caine.

My Review:
Missing Before Daylight is the tenth book in the Detective Amanda Steele Series by Carolyn Arnold. I have read every book in this series and hope to read more. I love reading stories written by Carolyn Arnold as they will pull you deep into their world from the first page.
When I start reading a book written by Carolyn the world around me starts to disappear. I know when I start one of her books I had better make plans to be there a while as I don’t know when to lay them day.
When you read a book by Carolyn you feel as if you are a part of that world as if you are a character in the book just standing on the sidelines witnessing it all. The descriptions are well-written and vivid. It is like watching a movie or TV show.
When Missing Before Daylight opens Detective Amanda Steele is called to a crime scene at a gas station where a young woman just starting her life has been shot. After Amanda looks at the video she realizes that this was not a robbery gone bad. Amanda sees on the video that a woman was taken against her will and forced into a car.
Amanda is now on the lookout for not only a murderer but a kidnapper as well. Why did this man take this woman from the store? What does he want with this woman? Why did he kill the gas station attendant? Did he have intentions of shooting this young woman when he entered the store? Or was she just at the wrong place at the wrong time?
Missing Before Daylight kept me guessing and trying to figure out why this lady was taken and what the man wanted with her. Missing Before Daylight has many twists and turns that kept me racing to the end to find out everything.
I recommend Missing Before Daylight to anyone who likes a good detective mystery story! Grab your copy of Missing Before Daylight today!
