Before She Left
The Gulfport Mystery Series, Book 2
By Alison R. Solomon
Can Breezy find her girlfriend, Ella, before it's too late?
A MISSING GIRLFRIEND. ABANDONED SPOUSES. A DETECTIVE WHO DOESN’T WANT TO INVESTIGATE.
Ella Jay has vanished without a trace. Her passionate, strong-willed fiancée, Breezy Carmichael, is terrified that something sinister has happened to her. The detective assigned to the case thinks Breezy should accept she’s been dumped. But Breezy senses something strange going on. For no apparent reason, in this small town of Gulfport, Florida, where everyone knows everyone else’s business, husbands and wives are deserting their spouses. Could Ella’s disappearance be part of the same mystery? When the detective makes a shocking discovery about Ella, Breezy must decide whether to listen to her head, which tells her to walk away, or to her mostly unreliable gut which tells her to keep searching. The decision she makes could be the difference between life and death.
