(By the end, Davy’s speed-dating!) But the crime and Manon’s place in it were wrenchingly difficult to read about Manon was difficult to read, weepy, hugely pregnant, cumbersome emotionally and physically. I still loved how Steiner made her “coppers” pursue justice and even occasionally mercy and manage to have messy, at times pathetic, personal lives. I still loved the characters, though Manon grated in this one, but Davy was as lovable as ever. I still gave up sleep and human companionship to read non-stop, resisting the pull of obligation and meals. If it could be half as good as Missing, Presumed, I was in for another winner. After a run of great books, Matthews’s Gentleman Jim, Griffiths’s Stone Circle, Bliss’s Redemption, I could not settle for less, so I grabbed Susie Steiner’s Persons Unknown from the night-stand.
