This was a strong start to the Vinnie Taylor Mystery series, it had that element that I was wanting from the description. Saundra Mitchell does a fantastic job in getting the reader into the book and not let go. I really enjoyed the way the characters and world were presented and developed. It was everything that I wanted in a opening chapter and was glad it was everything that I was looking for and am excited for more in this world. It uses the mystery perfectly and had that feel that I was looking for and was glad it was so well done.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this eARC.

In This Side of Gone by Saundra Mitchell a young woman goes missing and former Homicide detective Vinnie Taylor is persuaded (by the missing woman's best friend) to search for her.

I found this book to be emotionally resonant and captivating - with rich character development, I will be watching for more books from this author, particularly entries in the Vinnie Taylor series.

5 stars from this pleased reviewer.

fast-moving and twisty mystery novel with some interesting and intensely unique vibes throughout. 5 stars. tysm for the arc.

I felt invested in the outcome of this story. I came pretty close to flipping to the end just for a peek. I didn't and I'm not sorry I waited. This Sode of Gone, takes quite a few twist and turns. I really enjoyed reading it.

Thanks so much for allowing me to read this book!

Great character development and cant wait to read more of Vinnies story and more from this author.
