In Boston\u2019s immigrant-populated Mattapan neighborhood, she stands out like a lighthouse on a dark sea. So what the hell is she doing there?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Well, Frankie specializes in missing persons\u2014specifically, cold cases where the police have already failed.<\/strong> So far, she\u2019s found fourteen people. Every single one of them dead. But with Angelique Badeau, a Haitian teenager who disappeared eleven months ago, maybe\u2014just maybe\u2014things will be different this time\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Before She Disappeared<\/em> is the first book in Lisa Gardner\u2019s Frankie Elkin series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Power of Personality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re not a towering, unstoppable muscle-bound force like, say, Major Jack Reacher (see: <a href=\"https:\/\/minimal-kritikak.hu\/en\/2021\/01\/23\/die-trying-lee-child-book-review\/\">Lee Child\u2019s Die Trying<\/a>), who typically extracts information from reluctant witnesses and suspects with a well-placed, bone-rattling punch, then you\u2019ve got no choice\u2014you\u2019ll have to rely solely on the power of your personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s exactly what Frankie Elkin does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Every time you think, <em>Okay, that\u2019s it, she\u2019s done for\u2014someone\u2019s about to kick, stab, or shoot her in the ass<\/em>, Frankie somehow manages to talk her way past suspicious family members, reluctant witnesses, and wary cops. And just like that, the case of the missing girl takes on new life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Exotic Setting and a Twisty Investigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The charm of <em>Before She Disappeared<\/em> comes from both its unique setting and Gardner\u2019s unconventional protagonist with her equally unconventional methods. <strong>Frankie navigates a neighborhood that is anything but welcoming to outsiders, pushing forward against constant resistance, while Gardner paints a vivid picture of the community and its people.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an era of mass-produced crime fiction, originality is never a bad thing. And in this regard, <em>Before She Disappeared<\/em> passes with flying colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The investigative process is also impressively crafted, following in the footsteps of the best procedural thrillers\u2014stories that focus on the meticulous and realistic work of solving a case. Frankie, along with the initially hostile but increasingly cooperative Detective Dan Lotham, systematically re-examine the long-cold leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But sometimes, what a cop fails to uncover, a determined, skilled civilian can still dig up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Ruin the Ending of a Crime Novel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that when it comes to crime fiction, the ending is <em>the<\/em> make-or-break moment. If all the suspects gather in a room while the brilliant detective explains the impossible (see: <a href=\"https:\/\/minimal-kritikak.hu\/en\/2024\/10\/29\/murder-on-the-orient-express-by-agatha-christie-book-review\/\">Agatha Christie\u2019s <em>Murder on the Orient Express<\/em><\/a>), that can get a little dull.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a big, badass action hero kicks down the door and guns everyone down, well, that\u2019s not always the most believable solution either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the best option is the golden middle ground, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, <em>Before She Disappeared<\/em> doesn\u2019t go for that. (<em>Sigh.<\/em>) Instead, it goes for the second option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Frankie Elkin as an action hero? Ridiculous, right? Exactly.<\/strong> It completely undermines the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Ruin the Whole Damn Story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>But Before She Disappeared has even bigger problems than its botched ending. Around the halfway mark, you start getting the sneaking suspicion that this missing person case might be way less significant than it initially seemed. And guess what? You\u2019re absolutely right!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because if a \u201cmissing\u201d person is actually just wandering around the city, casually dropping cryptic riddles for the desperate people searching for them, that raises a few questions. First and foremost: Why the hell don\u2019t they just say <em>exactly <\/em>where they are?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are books where you finish reading and think, <em>It was good\u2026 except for the ending. The author really messed that up.<\/em> <strong>But the conclusion of Before She Disappeared doesn\u2019t just fumble\u2014it turns the ENTIRE story on its head.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lisa Gardner\u2019s book is solid for about 90% of the way. But the ending? Utterly baffling. It\u2019s as if Gardner asked an endlessly kind-hearted yet hopelessly na\u00efve friend to come up with a convoluted, original crime for her. (Or, more likely, that na\u00efve person was Gardner herself.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And so we end up with criminals you just can\u2019t take seriously. Criminals so incompetent they actively draw attention to themselves with unnecessary kidnappings. Criminals who take a simple white-collar scheme and overcomplicate it to the point of inevitable failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And let\u2019s not forget the terrifying, ruthless ex-con who\u2026 turns out to be a complete moron. Even though he could have solved the whole thing with three bullets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The crime behind Before She Disappeared is the kind of thing a moderately competent high schooler could pull off after class for some extra pocket money. Which makes kidnapping someone over it seem, frankly, absurd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final Verdict<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lisa Gardner introduces a talented and determined female protagonist with her Frankie Elkin series. Before She Disappeared is an atmospheric, unique crime novel\u2014up to a point. <strong>But its weak and shockingly dumb ending retroactively wrecks everything it had built up until then.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rating: 7.3\/10<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before She Disappeared (Frankie Elkin #1) by Lisa Gardner<br>400 pages, Hardcover<br>Published in 2021 by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.penguin.com\/dutton-overview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dutton<\/a><br>&#8212;<br>You may also like:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/minimal-kritikak.hu\/en\/2024\/11\/15\/you-will-never-be-found-by-tove-alsterdal-book-review\/\">You Will Never Be Found by Tove Alsterdal <\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/minimal-kritikak.hu\/en\/2024\/12\/30\/in-the-darkness-by-mike-omer-book-review\/\">In the Darkness by Mike Omer<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frankie Elkin is a skinny, petite white woman\u2014with a complicated relationship with alcohol and a massive savior complex.
