What I love about The Finder Mysteries is the way they weave a classic novel throughout the investigation, and how they make you feel like you are sitting in front of Talib as he tells you his story. The Woman Who Laughed is gripping, with some unexpected segways and a definite one-sitting read.

The Finder mysteries are a sort of "no I inhale them" as they're page turner I can't put down.
This is the best in this series, the most emotionally charged and with a sorrowful undertones as the Finder face his past and the life of street sex-worker
I felt for him and the girls, was eager to know how thinks were, moved by the grief.
A book I loved and I had to end as fast as I could as I wanted to know
A great story I thoroughly enjoyed
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Simon Mason is onto a winner in his Finder series of which this is the third and best.

The format remains the same - The Finder is employed by a local police force to discover the whereabouts of a missing g person and he ranges far and wide to attempt to do so whilst finding parallels between the situation he’s investigating and some of the classic novels.

He is thorough, dedicated and relentless. He has the gift to make witnesses open up and really talk to him as well as giving the analytical powers of deduction to sift the clues and evidence.

This case is set in Sheffield which comes alive in the hands of Ann excellent writer and Mason paints a bleak but accurate picture of the Demi monde and the dangers of life as a sex worker.

There are no winners in this book but it’s a captivating read
