When her gran loses all her confidence Rachel and her friends try to manoeuvre the boy into the hands of the police but everything she does goes wrong. As more devastating details emerge about her birth family Rachel is left to chose whether to allow her gran to fade away or become the type of person she always hated in order to save her.
In 'Family Missing', Rachel returns to Rotherham where the whole of her birth family history is revealed with disastrous results. Emma, the bully from ‘Family Secrets’ is making life miserable for her and she turns to her twin sister, Rebecca for help. The same day Rebecca is kidnapped and when Rachel does a reconstruction for the police she has no idea that she is putting her own life in danger. Within days Rachel’s world is completely dark with family and friends gone. In this final part can Rachel win through or will two families be left to mourn their daughters?

A nice end to a great series
I really enjoyed the first two books in this series and so was intrigued to find out what events would transpire in this one. Rachel is getting on with her life until one day, her twin sister Rebecca goes missing. While Rachel is afraid for her sister's safety, she is not as safe as she thinks. I found this book tense and unputdownable which is why I completed it in a day. Although these books are short, they are a good read if you like suspense. Overall, a nice end to a great series.
