Women are disappearing from the streets and found 10 days later, this has happened four times, although the fourth person did not get released. Eva is a journalist and has been covering the story, little did she know she would be the next person to be taken!
I was hooked to Invisible Victim, the story grabbed me from the first few pages, wondering who the kidnapper was and why they did it.
The book has different timelines, from when something happened back in 2006, the months that each woman was taken and the present day.
I really liked Eva’s character, she seemed like a really nice person and journalist, wanting to tell the stories of the women who had been taken in a truthful but compassionate way. She was also very strong.

I really enjoyed reading it and I couldn’t put it down!… (more)
