The ‘high-risk misper’ assigned to Manon is Cambridge postgrad student Edith Hind posh and privileged and gone without a trace. A vast, bottomless galaxy of loneliness… Often found Googling 'having a baby at 40'.’Manon likes to show the world a hard front, but she’s soft at heart and not untouched by the harsh realities of her job, which is getting harsher by the minute. The more truthful version she admits is, “Misanthrope, staring down the barrel of childlessness. "I love life and laughter, a bottle of wine with friends, cinema and walks in the countryside…” it says. Her online dating profile describes herself as 35 (she’s 39) and as genuine and easy-going. And Missing Presumed we firmly put in the category of brilliant crime – clever, gritty, sometimes funny, and with characters that get right under your skin.We love the latest in the tradition of hardened British female detectives in the smart portrayal of the wonderful DS Manon Bradshaw who is on the case of missing person Edith Hind. Manon Bradshaw is damaged, single, a loner who is often lonely, and cynical about the dire dating scene. Why We Love It:We adore crime fiction, but of course not all crime fiction is created equal.
