The Night She Disappeared by April Henry

Kayla is missing!  She left Pete’s Pizza with three pizza pies on a delivery and hasn’t been seen since.  When her car is found abandoned with her purse in it, the police believe she knew her abductor as there was no disturbance at the scene.  Later they find a bloodied rock near the river.  The river is at flood stage with snow melt.  Since Kayla’s body hasn’t been found, police believe she was murdered and thrown into the raging river.

Her work mates at Pete's Pizza, Drew and Gabie, are drawn into the mystery of what has happened to Kayla.  Drew received the phone message of the male voice who ordered the pizza delivery.  He just can’t identify who it is or from where he knows this man. Gabie was supposed to be working that and was likely the intended victim.

When the police run through their leads and still can’t find Kayla, they presume she is dead. Gabie and Drew attend her funeral along with loads of other school friends and her family. Gabie still feels strongly Kayla is alive, but where?

April Henry has written a fast paced easy to read mystery which will pull readers in and not release them until the crime is solved. Read The Night She Disappeared. You won't be disappointed.
