I received an advance copy of this book, Thank you

I enjoyed this book, even though I hadn't read the first. Jordan Manning is an up and coming investigative reporter, whose tenacity has gotten her the recognition of someone who will dig and find answers. All isn't easy for her, first as a young black woman, she often feels she has to prove herself more than others, also, in her drive to find answers, she often sacrifices her own personal life, which causes her to wonder is she pursuing the right path for her. That said, she loves what she does, and roots for the underdog. This time a young woman calls her, saying her sister is missing, and the police aren't treating it like a missing person. As Jordan digs, she finds there are a lot of people holding things back, making it hard to figure out who to trust and where to turn for answers.
Fast paced and good.… (mehr)

Watch Where They Hide by Tamron Hall follows Chicago TV crime reporter Jordan Manning as she investigates the disappearance of an Indiana mother of two. It is recommended mystery.

Shelly Biltmore calls Channel 8 News to talk to reporter Jordan Manning because her sister Marla, has been missing for several weeks and she suspects foul play. Marla, who is in the middle of a divorce, dropped her two children off at daycare and then disappeared. Shelly doesn't think the police are taking her concerns seriously and does not believe her sister would leave her children willingly. She thinks Marla's husband is responsible. Jordan travels to Indiana and begins to look into the case.

Jordan Manning is an interesting, fully realized, likeable character and it was a pleasure to see her following clues and uncover hidden secrets to solve the mystery of what happened to Marla. The missing person case here has Jordan mainly following up on information her sources uncover or reveal. It would have been nice to see some more ground breaking discovery of information, a more intricate, interesting plot, and some heart-stopping suspense along the way.

Even though this is the second in a series, it was easily read as a stand-alone novel. I like the character of Jordan Manning and see potential in future installments of the series. Thanks to William Morrow for providing me with an advance reader's copy via Edelweiss. My review is voluntary and expresses my honest opinion.
