Another great book in this series. I had guessed who the informant is, too good an opportunity to miss. The story continues to develop with the main characters feeling like friends. This really is a compelling story and I look forward to its continual development.

I’d like to thank HarperCollinsUK, One More Chapter and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read ‘Discarded’ by M A Hunter in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. Emma Hunter, investigative journalist and author of best-selling ‘Monsters Under The Bed’, is still searching for evidence of what happened to her sister Anna who disappeared twenty-one years ago. Someone is ending Emma photos, care of her agent Maddie, of children who disappeared in the 1990’s and were never found. Who’s sending her the photos? Will Emma and DS Jack Serrovitz ever get to the bottom of what happened at Pendark film studios? ‘Discarded’, Case 4 in The Missing Children Case Files, is even more exciting than the previous three if that’s at all possible. It’s been exceptionally well-thought-out with an intriguing plot that combines with suspense, drama and tension keeping me on the edge of my seat, and a massive red herring that side-tracks Emma for a while. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed catching up with Emma again and seeing where her relationship with Jack is heading, but now PCSO Rick Underwood’s on the scene who’s Emma going to choose – if either? I dreaded reaching the final page as I thought this would be the last of the Cases but after reading the hugely surprising final chapter I’m delighted that ‘Repressed’ will be making an appearance in the near future. This is an absolutely fantastic thriller that I can wholeheartedly recommend.

Emma Hunter is again on the hunt for a missing child. She had been asked for help by the parents- much to the disgust of the police inspector, who is far from friendly. Freddie, her friend whose story inspired her first book, has been released from jail for burning the studio where so much abuse had taken place. Jack the policeman who had been her co-investigator in the search for missing children calls her to say a suitcase has been found containing bones whilst the ruins of the studio were being cleared- could this be the sister who started her obsession with the missing? Confused? All I can say is, read this great series from the start then you'll be ready for this next instalment! Along with Emma's narrative we have Jo-Jo's (or Kylie's) story. The pace never lets up & as in the past I was left desperate for the next instalment. Thanks to Netgalley & the publisher for letting me read this book- can't wait to see where Emma goes next!

I’ve just finished this book and I’m currently screaming where’s the next one. This is book four of six in the missing children case files series. M.A Hunter has certainly not disappointed. Sometimes I find series go off the boil. Not this one. The author just improves by the book. I love the character development. I really want to know if Emma and Jack get together. I want someone to help heal Freddie. Most importantly I want to know what happened to Anna. Emma’s sister who went missing all those years ago and has had a huge impact in her life. In this book we learn a bit more about Anna’s disappearance. However, do yourself a favour. Please don’t read this as a stand alone book. Yes it’s good and yes you will love it. Pile the books up in order and lock yourself away. Don’t come out till you’ve read the series in order. I certainly can’t wait to get my hands on the next two books. Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this ARC

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and author for this ARC. Wow, this series is just going from strength to strength and in my opinion really starting to pick up its pace now. I found this to be another riveting read that had my attention all the way through. The story moved from past to present so effortlessly and flowed really well. I have so many questions that I hope will be answered in the next book(s). This is a very well, sensitively written book that literally had me on the edge of my seat and is a great addition to an excellent series so far. I can’t fault these books, I am really enjoying them and eagerly await the next one.
