These Women by Ivy Pochoda

When these women disappear the police write it off to their being on the streets where they shouldn't have been. But, to the mother whose daughter didn't come home, a female vice cop that cares too much about the connections and a young artist trying to make a name for herself - those women are important and the killer needs to be found. The backdrop of the tough street life on these streets in Los Angeles proves to be the perfect setting to tell these women's point of view. The murder victims as well as their saviors all have a say and the choppy, rough sentence structure only accentuates the fear, distrust and feeling like they have no other options. When their lives are all tied together the ending will blow you away.    4 stars
