Vanishing Girls

Acknowledgements

First and foremost, I must thank my passionate readers. Thank you for joining me on this wonderful journey. I deeply appreciate every message, tweet, email, and Facebook post. Thank you for spreading the word. I hope you love Josie Quinn as much as I do and will stick around for more of her adventures.

As always, thank you to my husband Fred and lovely, inspiring daughter Morgan for giving up so much time with me so I could work on this book. Thank you to my parents: William Regan, Donna House, Rusty House, Joyce Regan, and Julie House, who are constantly encouraging this dream of mine. Thank you to the following friends who cheered me on through the first draft of this novel and the many editing rounds, without whom I would surely have given up: Melissia McKittrick, Nancy S. Thompson, Michael J. Infinito Jr., Carrie A. Butler, Dana Mason, and Katie Mettner. Thank you to the following loved ones for constantly going above and beyond to spread the word about my books no matter how much time goes by between titles: Helen Conlen, Marilyn House, Ava McKittrick, Dennis and Jean Regan, Torese Hummel, Laura Aiello, Tracy Dauphin, and Dennis Conlen.

Thank you so very much to Sgt Jason Jay for answering so many of my police work questions in such great detail. I can never thank you enough. Thank you to Amy Z. Quinn for answering my journalism questions so thoroughly.

Finally, thank you to Jessie Botterill for asking me what else I had up my sleeve; for your willingness to take a chance on me; for your passion and commitment to this book and this series; for your amazing editing work; and for your candor and your overall brilliance. I feel so blessed to be working with you. Thank you to the entire team at Bookouture! It is humbling to be a part of such an amazing publishing family.
