Two Girls Down by Louisa Luna
Summary: As addictive, cinematic, and binge-worthy a narrative
as The Wire and The Killing, Two Girls
Down introduces Louisa Luna as a thriller writer of immense talent and
verve.
When two young sisters disappear from a strip mall parking lot in a small Pennsylvania town, their devastated mother hires an enigmatic bounty hunter, Alice Vega, to help find the girls. Immediately shut out by a local police department already stretched thin by budget cuts and the growing OxyContin and meth epidemic, Vega enlists the help of a disgraced former cop, Max Caplan. Cap is a man trying to put the scandal of his past behind him and move on, but Vega needs his help to find the girls, and she will not be denied.
With little to go on, Vega and Cap will go to extraordinary lengths to untangle a dangerous web of lies, false leads, and complex relationships to find the girls before time runs out, and they are gone forever.
Angie’s comments: Alice Vega is an interesting character, who may be hard to
warm up to. I liked Vega and am looking forward to reading more about her. The
book is dark, so beware!
Recommended for readers of dark mysteries.
