My name is Frankie Elkin, and finding missing people is what I do.
 
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lisa Gardner comes a harrowing locked-room style thriller set on a remote island.

"The very definition of the word unputdownable." -- Tess Gerritsen
 
Frankie Elkin is an expert at finding the missing persons that the rest of the world has forgotten, but even she couldn’t have anticipated this latest request—to locate the long-lost sister of a female serial killer facing execution in three weeks’ time. 
 
She has called herself "death," but people called her the devil. 

The case was sensational. Kaylee Pierson had confessed from the very beginning, waived all appeals. Despite the media’s chronicling of her tragic circumstances—the childhood spent with a violent father—no one could find sympathy for “the Beautiful Butcher” who had led eighteen men home from bars before viciously slitting their throats. 
Now, with only twenty-one days left to live, Pierson has finally received a lead on the whereabouts of the sister who was kidnapped over a decade ago, and she needs Frankie’s help to find her. The Beautiful Butcher’s offer:
 
When was the last time your search ended with finding the living? 
 
Unable to resist the chance for a rescue, Frankie takes on Pierson’s request. Twelve years ago, five-year-old Leilani went missing in Hawaii. The main suspect? Pierson’s tech mogul ex-boyfriend, Sanders MacManus. Now, on a remote island in the middle of the Pacific—the site of MacManus’s latest vanity project—fresh evidence has appeared. In order to learn the truth and possibly save a young woman’s life, Frankie must go undercover at the isolated base camp. Her challenge: A dozen strangers. Countless dangerous secrets. Zero means of calling for help. And then the storm rolls in…

Ratings and reviews

This was an intriguing and suspenseful story. Frankie is certainly a unique character. Sent to a remote island to find the sister of a serial killer on death row. I enjoyed this a story very much. It’s very different series of than what this author usually writes. “There’s feathers in your hair, Frankie girl.” “There’s sand in your beard, Charlie dude.” Lots of twisty turns keep you guessing. I don’t know if there will be more about Frankie but if there is I’m there.

This snagged me from the start. I was intrigued by the death row inmate wanting to find her sister before she met her end. Through it all, I questioned everything with a huge grain of salt because I love a twist and I love looking and finding them along the way. And holy heck, did I ever get thrown for a loop with this story! More than once! And I loved every moment of it.

I really like her style of writing. However, the end is to short. I feel like she just decided to end the book instead of writing the ending.
