Jack McCormac does it again! As a follow-up to his first book, The Sketching Detective, McCormac delivers a fresh batch of his signature brand of wit in The Sketching Detective and the Missing Women. University professor and avid golfer Jack McKay is approached again by Fat Joe, the police chief of Bonnie Glen, the small golfing community where Jack and his feisty, redheaded wife Fiona live. Four young women in a neighboring mountain town have mysteriously disappeared out of thin air. Jack is hesitant to take on the case due to his own laziness, the potential danger to his lovely yet mistrustful Fiona, and because of a previous case of a missing showgirl that almost cost him his marriage... but Fionas eyes sparkle at the prospect of solving another mystery, and she begins immediately planning their summer in Mountain City. Jack employs his crafty, unconventional sketching tactic to try to solve the case, and he meets many humorous twists and turns as he and Fiona gently bend the law, getting a little too close to the case and sometimes putting themselves at risk. McCormacs riotous charm will leave readers of all ages laughing out loud as they follow Jack along his mishap-ridden adventures, and the solution to the mystery of the missing women is as delightfully intricate as it is surprising.
