From two-million-selling author Steena Holmes, nine dark and gripping stories featuring Detective Meri Amber.
Nine missing girls. Nine cases the world wants to forget. One detective who never will.
Each file is someone’s daughter. Someone’s sister. And if Meri Amber can’t bring them home, she’ll make sure their stories end with justice.
As the FBI’s leading child abduction specialist, Meri has spent her career chasing the vanished – from Minnesota to Montana, from abandoned barns to dark cellars that still echo with screams. But every case cuts deeper than the last.
“I’m Detective Meri Amber. I’ve been searching for my sister for twenty years. Every missing girl is a mirror. Every scream behind a wall could be hers.
I’ll never stop looking. These are the stories of the girls I’ve found, the truths I’ve uncovered, and the cracks in my own past I can’t seem to seal.”
From the horrifying secrets of the House of Dolls, to a macabre twelfth birthday party, to the sinister truths buried in the Widow’s Barn: delve into nine intriguing mysteries which will chill you to the bone.
NINE NAIL-BITING STORIES FULL OF SHOCKING TWISTS BY A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR.

First, I want to thank Sheena Holmes, Joffe Books and Zooloo Book Tours for providing me with this book so I can bring you this review.
Sheena Holmes caught my attention with Nick Castle’s incredible eye-catching cover and her title Nine Missing Girls! If you follow my reviews you know that I am a sucker for a missing person case novel!! It is actually one of my go to genre’s! Sheena states in the beginning of this book that this is a book of short stories that follow Detective Meri Amber. This character has already been in The Sister Under The Stairs and The Girls in the Basement (However, I have not but you can read this without knowing her backstory).
Out of all the short stories in Nine Missing Girls there were some that captured my interest and fascinated me more than the others. The Birthday Room was one of them was a creatively twisted written scenario that my heart just ached for these kids. I wanted to jump into the story and say it is ok if you can tell the truth! I don’t think I have ever read a crazier story than this! Mrs. Lillian was a madwoman at what she was doing!! Seriously, you have never ever been to a Birthday like this before in your life!!
What I like about her character is her search for the missing girls isn’t just about her profession, it is a vow to bring her one step closer to understanding what happened to her own sister and to who took her.
There was another story that mentioned a character by the last name Benton. I had a chuckle because my brother in law’s name is that and I have never seen his name anywhere else written before. So, whenever I saw the character’s name I thought of him! Thanks Sheena for making me smile with that one.
