Welsh Detective Constable Evan Evans, now in the Plainclothes Division, works his eighth case. A young girl, Ashley, has disappeared from a local beach, possibly abducted by her father. When Evans later uncovers a child’s skeleton while digging outside the cottage he is renovating, he decides Ashley’s disappearance may be connected with that of another young girl, Sarah, who went missing when Evans was a child--especially since Sarah’s relatives are all back in Wales for the first time since the tragedy to attend a birthday party. His superiors want Evans to concentrate on locating the father, but he feels compelled to follow other leads to find the missing child as well as to investigate Sarah’s family. A fine sense of place, a compelling dual story line, and a cast of sympathetic, well-drawn characters give this small-town police procedural plenty of appeal. Recommend Evans to readers of M. C. Beaton’s Hamish Macbeth mysteries set in Scotland.---Sue O’Brien, From Booklist
