Missing Persons: a Young Investigations Novel Kindle Edition

4.1 out of 5 stars (15)

Some people go missing by accident. Others choose to disappear.

Attorney Wesley Payne has watched Private Investigator Yvette Young retreat from the world since losing her fiancé three years ago. When he brings her a missing person case that should be routine, he's hoping that working together might crack the armor she's built around herself.

A missing construction worker. A desperate wife. What starts as a simple trace job becomes something far more dangerous when they realize nothing about the case is what it seems. From Atlanta's shadows to the Oregon coast, Yvette and Wesley uncover a conspiracy that reaches into the highest levels of power. Someone is willing to kill to keep their secrets buried, and Edward holds the key to bringing them down.

As the case unravels, Yvette faces her greatest challenge yet. The danger closing in around them is nothing compared to the way Wesley makes her remember what it feels like to want something more than to merely exist.

Missing Persons is a romantic mystery set in Atlanta, with complicated characters, a slow-burn romance, and a case that refuses to stay simple.

Do you need a masterclass in character development? Get it with author DL White. Yvette and Wesley gave us a slow burn that was worth the wait while also roping us into the mystery of Ed and why he ran out on his family. I loved this book and I’m looking forward to the rest of the Young Investigations series!

    Whatever it says about me that the sex scenes were at the top of the list of what I enjoyed about this book, I'll own that. Especially the first one.

    Outside of my, um, amorous appreciations...I liked the story. I was more into the developments between Yvette and Wesley than I was the case they were working on, as admittedly suspense isn't my bag but romance is. I had somewhat mixed-ish feelings about them both, for different reasons, but I liked when they came together (I'm not being fast when I say that, either).

    I will say that I would've liked to have at least gotten more of an explanation of Yvette's parents' tolerance of Yancey's behavior. After the altercation and Yvette storming out, it was just somewhat forgotten about. Without that, the dissension between the siblings (or rather, the attention to it) felt kinda unnecessary, especially since it didn't really seem that much of anything changed by the end.

    Overall, though, I dug it.

    Wesley and Yvette have had feelings for one another forever. The problem, Yvette was engaged. They continued to have a professional relationship. Wesley has been there for Yvette and has made his feelings known. Yvette has to admit she's got feelings for him too. Working this missing persons case together brings them much closer.

    Atlanta. A high-stakes investigation. A slow-burn romance that burns slow...in the best way. And characters so real, you’ll want to follow them straight off the page.

    Yvette is sharp, guarded, and frustratingly good at ignoring what’s right in front of her. Wesley is charming, determined, and patient as hell—he’s been waiting for her to catch up to what he’s known all along.

    I’ll admit, I wanted to shake Yvette more than once, but I get it! Grief does that, it makes you protect yourself from everything, even the good stuff. Watching her finally let her guard down was totally worth the wait.

    If you love layered mysteries, sparks that build into a fire, and romance wrapped in suspense, this one’s for you. 🖤

    The missing persons case is gripping in its own right, but the emotional stakes—both personal and romantic—will keep you just as invested. The family dynamics, especially between Yvette and her brother, add a layer of realism and introspection that elevates the story even further. It’s a poignant reminder that we all experience our families differently, and those dynamics shape who we are long after childhood ends.

    As the first book in the Young Investigations series, Missing Persons sets a high bar. The tension, chemistry, and emotional depth left me eager to see where D.L. White takes Yvette, Wesley, and this dynamic investigative world next.
