Summary

One child lost, one child found - what's the connection?  

DS Jan Pearce is still searching for her missing son. When she finds a little girl, Elise, alone in a pram in a busy town center, she must unravel a mystery that takes her to the edge of her emotions. Then, another child, Dara Price, goes missing. 

Lisa Connelly, Elise's mother, has been forced into a life of prostitution and has been leaving her little girl alone. Her gangland boss is holding her prisoner but she wants her little girl back. Jan finds herself balancing her search for her son with finding Dara. To make matters worse, her right hand man, Mike Waring, is on another case, so she and her temporary partner, profiler Damien Booth, must solve the puzzle and find Lisa before time runs out for Dara.   

Playlist for a Paper Angel is the second in the DS Jan Pearce series of novels and is the sequel to Random Acts of Unkindness. Set in Saddleworth in the northwest part of England, the backdrop of Playlist for a Paper Angel is the sinister moorland and the vibrant city of Manchester.

Gripping but harrowing

The third book in the DS Jan Pearce crime series is even more harrowing than the last, covering all the crimes and we don’t like to think happen in the world, but almost certainly do. Jan is determined to find the missing toddler in spite of her boss’s insistence it’s an open and shut case. We also get to see this underworld from the viewpoint of one of the victims, a young mother who will do ‘anything’ to protect her daughter.
I became so involved in this story that I found myself worrying about the characters when I wasn’t listening to it and in spite of usually preferring a lighter subject matter I felt compelled to listen to find out what happens next.
I am going to have to read a comedy next mind!
Overall it was a really good listen and I will be looking out for the next edition.

Great sequel!

I recommend this is read after the first one in the series.

I enjoyed this as much, maybe more than the first one. The characters and the story line are very engaging. I’m looking forward to catching up with Jan in the next one.

Thanks to Bookboom and the author for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
