Missing Marlene

This series-opener by first-time mystery writer Evan Marshall mixes publishing drama with classic intrigue. Set in northern New Jersey and New York City, it follows literary agent Jane Stuart down a winding path of sex, betrayal, and obsession as she searches for the whereabouts of her seemingly sullen nanny Marlene. Marlene is assumed missing when she fails to retrieve Jane's son Nick from school one day. With each step towards the truth, Jane discovers the sinister nature of Marlene's character. Far from the listless teenager Jane perceived, Marlene is obsessed with money and, as readers will find, is willing to get it at any cost.
