I read this mystery book around 2011 or so (I could be a little off). I cannot remember the author or title. It was about this mother who was on a TV personality or something. Whatever profession she has causes her to be a little famous in her area. Her daughter is kidnapped and the mom eventually gets help from a psychic because she is desperate. Everyone tells her not to but she still does. The book changes points of view in to keep the reader guessing on who kidnapped the daughter and even takes the daughter point of view a few times. One girl follows the case and collects the different missing posters of the daughter. The psychic at one points gives a clue about a veil. I can't remember much else without spoiling pieces of the end. This is driving me nuts and I would love to learn the name of this book.

It Only Takes a Moment by Mary Jane Clark?The Publishers Weekly review mentions a psychic as part of the plot: "New York City news anchor Eliza Blake, now back at the morning TV show KEY to America, pays a price for her high media profile in this riveting novel of suspense from bestseller Clark (When Day Breaks). When kidnappers seize Eliza's seven-year-old daughter, Janie, and Eliza's Hispanic housekeeper on their way home from camp in New Jersey, Eliza's comfortable life turns into a living nightmare. The FBI, local law enforcement and Eliza's news team work around the clock to discover the identities and locations of the kidnappers. When a psychic arrives at Eliza's doorstep, claiming to know details of the kidnapping that weren't released to the press, Eliza is convinced that the psychic can help find Janie. Suspicious letters, ransom notes and mysterious clues heighten the suspense. A multitude of red herrings will keep the reader guessing to the shocking conclusion. (Aug.) --Staff (Reviewed June 30, 2008) (Publishers Weekly, vol 255, issue 26, p162)"
