Sight Unseen by Robert Goddard


Typical Robert Goddard. He hooks you in the first couple of pages and you must continue with the story to unravel the mystery. David Umber witnesses the abduction of 2 year old Tamsin Hall and the murder of her sister. The story moves on 23 years. Retired Chief Inspector George Sharp contacts Umber and together they set out to discover what happened to Tamsin. Well constructed and full of twists. I've read all of his books and will continue to do so.
