Just What Kind of Mother Are You? by Paula Daly

Mother of three Lisa Kallisto is finding it hard to balance her home and work life. When Lucinda, a friend of Lisa's teenage daughter, goes missing while she's supposed to be in Lisa's care, she feels tremendous guilt. Lucinda's mother, Kate is Lisa's good friend. Faced with going to Kate's house and offering support, Lisa feels like a pariah. She then vows to find Lucinda herself. DC Joanne Aspinall is put in charge of Lucinda's disappearance and wonders if this case is connected to that of another girl that's gone missing recently. In Just What Kind of Mother Are You?, Daly goes beyond the search for Lucinda to explore the subjects of marriage and friendship. With a compelling storyline, it's definitely worth a read. It will be published in September.
