Description
The wind from the storm outside blows through the house, making Nikki’s eyes sting. The secret room is hidden behind a wardrobe in the dusty, abandoned living room. A light flickers to reveal a dark stain on the floor, and two sets of fragile bones…
Standing in the old farmhouse, Special Agent Nikki Hunt holds her breath as the smell of bleach overwhelms her. She can’t take her eyes off the blue baby toys scattered around the floor as her team examine the remains. A housekeeper and her three children disappeared from the property ten years ago. Do the bones belong to two of them? Did the other two survive?
But before Nikki has a chance to investigate further, she receives a panicked call from the local sheriff begging for her help: fourteen-year-old Taylor Hall has gone missing. In the boy’s grand family home, Nikki finds his mother and father utterly distraught, but there are whispers about his mother’s drinking habit. Despite the younger children’s rosy cheeks, and the plates of homemade fudge, is this family hiding secrets?
While digging into Taylor’s life, Nikki spots a crumpled note sticking out of his locker at school. Her finger traces the exact date the housekeeper went missing from the old farmhouse, and a name: “Bailey”. Is this Taylor? As a child, did he survive what happened all those years ago? Or is someone playing a cruel game with Nikki?
The truth about Taylor’s real family is deadlier than Nikki could imagine, and he will have to dig deeper than ever before to save him. Can she unravel the terrible events of the past and protect more than one innocent life before her time runs out?

Review
FBI agent Nikki Hunt is back with the 10th book in the series, Little Child Gone.
Besides the prologue, which was great, I found that the book started slow until around a third of the way in, then it picked up substantially, and I loved it.
I enjoyed the storyline with Nikki working on a case that could be years old, as well as a current case of a missing boy. The twists were brilliant as always, and I love how Nikki and her team work through the case to get answers and eventually solving the case. I felt like I was reading a script from Criminal Minds.
Stacy Green is a fantastic author, she has me completely invested in Nikki Hunt, and I hope there will be another addition to the series.
