The Mystery of the Vanishing Victim
Book 33 of the Trixie Belden series
Trixie Belden becomes involved in a case where a supposed victim disappears or cannot be found when answers are needed. The vanishing complicates every assumption about what happened and raises the possibility that someone’s identity or story has been deliberately manipulated. Trixie and the Bob-Whites work through contradictory clues while trying to determine whether the missing person is hiding or in danger. Kathryn Kenny’s mystery uses a shifting missing-person puzzle to keep both the evidence and the role of victim uncertain.
