Kitt Hartley's sidekick Grace starts her higher education career at the exclusive Venerable Bede's in York. Typically, she's not just studying - there's a fresh mystery for the ladies to get stuck into.

A year ago, student Jodie vanished without trace. Where did she go, and who was responsible?

Another excellent tale in the series

I am a reader from Sunderland and it was a pleasure to read, so familiar are all the areas set out in this book. That I often visit.
Grace Edwards and Kitt Hartley attend the Venerable Bede Vocational Academy in Durham, this is book four but I got straight into the story straight away.
Jodie Perkins was attacked and the attacker was never caught so who's next? after been ready to speak on the radio station, Jodie after a moment pause they never saw her again, no witnesses and no evidence nothing.
it's been now one whole year and now Kitt and Grace want their turn, Kitt was trained in private investigation and solving a cold case would definitely put her on the map.
Patrick Howard was engaged to Jodie so is the first one they set out to question.
is she dead or is she alive.
questions needed answers, so what can Kitt unfold in her investigation?
I found it so easy to get into this story, this is my first read by this author, the authors research is spot on, they set out and find lost of twists and it will grip you, with added humour, a fantastic read that has left me hungry to read more in The Hartley Yorkshire Mysteries.
LOVED IT.

I love a cosy crime but I doubt that protagonist – and librarian turned private detective – Kitt Hartley would be too keen on me using that phrase. She’s visiting her ex-assistant Grace in Durham, where Grace is attending university, when she’s called into a cool case. Not cold, because it happened just a year before. Jodie Perkins, a student, disappeared after her radio broadcast was cut short by a scream. Her body had never been located and her boyfriend is adamant that something needs to be done. Can Kitt and Grace trace back what happened a year ago and figure out where Jodie had gone? And how easy is it to be blinded by the wrong information? Another fantastic read, I love how absorbed you feel when reading Kitt’s adventures.
