Gone by Leona Deakin

On the day of her birthday Lana Reid received an unusual birthday card.  On the front was 'Happy 1st Birthday' and inside the message was 'Your gift is the game, dare to play?'  She then went missing. Her 16 year old daughter Jane reported her disappearance to the police, but they didn't investigate as she seemed to have gone willingly.  

Jane contacted Marcus Jameson, the brother of the family she is staying with, to ask for help in finding Lana.  Marcus works with Dr Augusta Bloom, a psychologist who also assists the police with their investigations, and together they start to uncover the details of a number of other people who received the same card, also on their birthdays, and then disappeared.  

Looking into the lives of those who have disappeared, they all seemed to have been living a lie in one form or another.  More and more disappearances are uncovered.  What links all these people and makes them walk away from their lives needs to be found so that the people themselves can be found.  

I really enjoyed this story it was unusual and quite involved.
