Paul Behrens got up early one morning, dressed in a suit, got in his car and drove off, not to work at the middle school, but off … where? When his wife Annie gets a phone call that staid, boring Paul hadn't shown up for work, she immediately goes to the police who note the oddity of Paul's disappearance and begin immediately to investigate. The circle of characters is small – a handful of detectives, a cluster of relatives, friends, colleagues, students, parents – but these are interesting characters, far more interesting than I expect in a detective story. The police officers especially. They are reflective and developed as individuals. Not a clown among them. Very nice. I received a digital review copy of "The Day He Left" by Frederick Weise from Poisoned Pen Press through NetGalley.com. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Annie has fallen out of the habit of listening to her husband. She and Paul have been married for a long time; it's easy to nod as he drones on, responding to his voice while completely ignoring every word he says. That becomes a problem, of course, when Paul disappears and the police have questions. Was Paul having issues at work? Is there any reason to think he might harm himself? Annie doesn't know. But someone does. An unsettling photo found amongst Paul's things turns the investigation toward his job as a middle-school teacher and a troubled girl who is hiding secrets of her own. But what exactly happened to Paul on the day he left for work and never made it to the classroom? Is his disappearance related to a local heroin-trafficking operation? As Eddie Mahler and the members of the Santa Rosa Violent Crime Investigations Team rush to find him, they discover that members of his family have hidden lives of their own and that Paul may not have been running away but toward something that could ruin his career and marriage-and even cost his life.

She did not know all of his secrets, though she did know some things. Of course, she had her own secrets as well. She thinks her husband had no idea, but is that really true? When a spouse goes missing, everything is on the table and there are no more secrets. As the fiction of their marriage gradually tears apart, Lieutenant Eddie Mahler and the other members of the Santa Rosa Violent Crime Investigative Team start finding out various truths in the missing persons case.
As in the first book of the series, The Silenced Women, things are very complicated in The Day He Left: A Violent Crime Investigations Team Mystery by Fredrick Wesel. There is the current case as well as the ongoing backstories of numerous characters, and other cases. While this reader did not enjoy this book as much as the first one, it is a good book that builds solidly on the first. As such, it is recommended to read in order.
My reading copy came by way of Lesa Holstine who, months ago, sent her copy to me.
