I really enjoyed this mystery set in the 1960s. Maddie Schwartz has left her husband and is trying to make it on her own. She begins an affair with an younger, Black police officer, and befriends a young woman who is using her to get out from under her parents' overprotective sight. When they find a missing young girl's body, Maddie uses that to break into the news business, first writing a short piece, and then working as an office assistant. She decides to investigate another missing woman, and her research leads to another body. Maddie won't drop the story, though, and her investigations upend a lot of lives in the process. Each chapter is told from a rotating set of viewpoints, with Maddie's being the most prominent. I liked this way of framing the story; it kept it moving, but also allowed each character's story to be told.
