A fascinating story. ( )

Driven. Called to serve. That's what this woman really is. She clearly displays her need to be in the forefront of finding people who are missing whether they are still alive or not, whether as a volunteer with a small child and a nonsupportive husband, or as a minimally paid licensed private investigator, or back in the volunteer sector. The book is wrenching as she relates the scarcity of knowledgeable volunteers or professionals, the spotty incidence of respect, and many particular investigations/hardships/results. I was ashamed at the lack of respect given her by state and local law enforcement, but oddly encouraged by that shown by FBI and the Air Force. This book can be difficult to read in places, and I suspect that some readers stuck in a bookmark and put it back in their TBR pile. I am more fortunate than that because my copy is audio and narrated by Sara K. Sheckells whose audio interpretation is absolutely perfect.
I requested and received a free review copy courtesy of AudioBookBOOM. ( )

"Finder: The True Story of a Private Investigator" by Marilyn Greene and Gary Provost - Greene's 1988 account of her PI career seemed almost quaint. Nowadays, much of her legwork could be accomplished by clicking a few buttons on the Internet. There's still valid emotion to be found in these stories, especially one case that hit close to home. ( )
