I enjoyed this far more than its forerunner, [b:The Intersection of Law and Desire|166008|The Intersection of Law and Desire The Third Micky Knight Mystery (Micky Knight Mystery Series)|J.M. Redmann|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172342967s/166008.jpg|160298]. Lost Daughters is set some time later, when Micky & Cordelia are celebrating their 3rd anniversary. Prompted by this and a couple of her cases, Micky delves deeper into her own past in a bid to understand why her mother left her to the tender mercies of Aunt Greta and family.

J.M. Redmann consistently keeps hitting it out of the park with the Mickey Knight series. In part 4 Lost Daughters we stay closer to home as Mickey takes on two cases that involve a mother looking for her lost daughter and an adopted son looking for his birth mother. It makes her think of her own mother who abandoned her when she was 5. Coming home for a funeral reveal some matters that make Mickey determined to find out the truth once and for all.
Next to Mickey’s sleuthing we have a secondary plot involving a chain of brutally murdered closeted lesbians that seem to have a connection to her lover Cordelia’s clinic. Or do they?
Superb writing and a great plot kept me reading into the wee hours of the morning. I don’t mind losing sleep when it concerns Mickey Knight. If you haven’t started this series yet, you are really missing out. I’m just sayin’ .

Micky Knight just gets better and better and no one can write her better than Redmann. Plot drive, character-driven, murder mystery. For a PI who doesn't want to do the murder and mayhem, Micky Knight gets pulled into murder investigations frequently, and frequently becomes the target. A great addition to a wonderful series.
