The Quirks are back, and there is another crime to solve for P.Q. Investigations.
When Verity Hudson goes missing, Peddyr Quirk – with assistance from his effervescent wife Connie – investigates a strange new case which unfolds in an unsavoury part of town. It soon becomes apparent that they are not the only ones looking for Verity.
A freelance researcher is searching for her birth mother.
An influential man of power and money is desperate to find his estranged sister.
A local politician is determined to expose a hidden tragedy.
A TV journalist will stop at nothing to expose the true story … if it can be uncovered.
Where is Verity, who is Verity, and who will find her first?
Verity Vanishes is the third book in the Quirk Files series but it is the first one I have read, so you can definitely read it as a standalone as I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Quirk by name and quirk by nature: you can't get more quirky than Peddyr and Connie quirk. I really like the pairing of these unusual characters and it has definitely made me want to read more in the series. With dogged determination, a handful of cunning and a sprinkling of humour, they investigate the disappearance of Verity Hudson and if anyone can find her, the Quirks can.
There is more than the Quirks looking for Verity which adds several layers onto an already intriguing storyline. Reading Verity Vanishes is like peeling an onion, uncovering layer after layer of mystery as you turn each page. As more of Verity's story is uncovered, it's quite heartbreaking to read as the story touches on mental health, but this is tackled sensitively and respectfully.
Verity Vanishes is a multi-layered mystery that is very cleverly plotted, delivering an abundance of shocks and surprises for the reader. The addition of quirky humour perfectly balances the dark and mysterious storyline, resulting in an intriguing, addictive and entertaining read.
