Chasing Margie: A Case That Wouldn’t Stay Cold

Howard and Emma Gladstone are at their summer lake house in the early 20th century, when their daughter, Margie, disappears. The police suspect she’s been kidnapped, but there is no ransom note. Despite an enormous effort on land and underwater, no sign of Margie is found.

Ninety-five years later, Sarah Duncan discovers DNA evidence indicating she is descended from the missing Margie Gladstone. Sarah is a lower middle class, 30-year-old woman, who lives paycheck to paycheck. Her life consists primarily of working at a clothing store and taking care of her senile mother. Could she obtain a small portion of the Gladstone fortune? What would the money mean to the quality of her life? How can she find out if any of this is possible? And most importantly - what happened to Margie?

Good story line!

The story moves along nicely. Realistic descriptions and good dialogue between characters, too. Very good narration, but the quality is tinny.
