The Vanishing Tourist

Title: The Vanishing Tourist
Author: Matthew Costello, Neil Richards
Published: July 27th 2015 by Bastei Lübbe
Format: Kindle Edition, 112 pages
Genre: Cozy Mystery
Series: Cherringhame #18

First Sentence: Will Goodchild pulled out his pocket watch, handed down from his father who had never tired of telling him that he wore that watch on D-Day, hitting Gold Beach, leading his men in the gallant struggle of World War II.

Blurb: When an American tourist goes missing in Cherringham, the local police don't see reason for concern - people often wander away from such tours. But when that tourist's sister shows up from New York, desperately looking for answers, Jack and Sarah become convinced there's more to the disappearance than meets the eye. Soon, they are entangled in a mystery with a secret history of betrayal, sacrifice, dishonour ... and death. (GoodReads)

My Opinion: For the most part, this is Jack’s story. Sarah makes her appearance, but Jack is the main person on the trail, and I found that interesting. I love them as a team, but it is nice to see how each performs separately. There is one small part where Jack gets Sarah’s mind wandering, which I found interesting, but then again, maybe I am hoping for an outcome that may never come to fruition. There is always a possibility and one more reason why I continue with Cherringham.
