Vanishing Daughters: A Thriller

Briar Rose Thorn lives in a state of grief from which she can’t seem to escape. Since her mother’s untimely passing, Briar has assumed a near-reclusive lifestyle and has been puttering around her house. Her best friend and her boyfriend attempt to encourage her out of her malaise, but Briar feels she needs more time to mourn. Briar suffers from bouts of insomnia, and she has been alarmed by strange music from within the mansion. Briar also has the nagging feeling that she is being watched.

Meanwhile, a killer hunts the streets of Chicago seeking to add another victim to his mounting collection. He is a man who operates from the shadows and his victims are helpless once he strikes. Chicago has seen its share of murder and mayhem over time, but this current night stalker feels too close for comfort.

Vanishing Daughters is a spellbinding new novel by author Cynthia Pelayo(“Forgotten Sisters”). While a strong thriller, this book is also filled with fascinating Chicago history, a spin on a classic fairy tale, along with an entertaining amount of the paranormal. Cynthia Pelayo has written a magnificent book that transcends genres and will endure in the reader’s memory.
