Every Waking Hour

(Ellery Hathaway #4)

The fourth book in Joanna Schaffhausen's heart pounding Ellery Hathaway mystery series.

After surviving a serial killer’s abduction as a young teenager, Ellery Hathaway is finally attempting a normal life. She has a new job as a rookie Boston detective and a fledgling relationship with Reed Markham, the FBI agent who rescued her years ago. But when a twelve-year-old girl disappears on Ellery’s watch, the troubling case opens deep wounds that never fully healed.

Chloe Lockhart walked away from a busy street fair and vanished into the crowd. Maybe she was fleeing the suffocating surveillance her parents put on her from the time she was born, or maybe the evil from her parents’ past finally caught up to her. For Chloe, as Ellery learns, is not the first child Teresa Lockhart has lost.
Ellery knows what it’s like to have the past stalk you, to hold your breath around every corner. Sending one kidnapped girl to find another could be Chloe’s only hope or an unmitigated disaster that dooms them both. Ellery must untangle the labyrinth of secrets inside the Lockhart household—secrets that have already murdered one child. Each second that ticks by reminds her of her own lost hours, how close she came to death, and how near it still remains.

My Review:
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the fourth book in the Ellery Hathaway series and my first time picking up this author. Rookie detective and kidnapping survivor Ellery is searching for a twelve-year-old girl, who happens to disappear, while Ellery and FBI agent Reed Markham are close by. As Ellery dives into the case, it reveals wounds that have not healed.

The missing girl Chloe Lockhart walked away from a busy street fair, ditched her phone, and vanished into the crowd. Did her overprotective parents drive her to run away?

Her determination to find Chloe keeps her working through every clue and secret.

I felt myself at the edge of my seat with every page I turned. This was hard to put down. I'm definitely going back and reading the other books in the series.

Thanks so much to St. Martin's, NetGalley, and the author for this ARC to review
