Summer has come to Atlantic City but the boardwalk is empty of tourists, the casino lights have dimmed, and two Jane Does are laid out in the marshland behind the Sunset Motel, just west of town. Only one person even knows they're there. Meanwhile, Clara, a young boardwalk psychic, struggles to attract clients for the tarot readings that pay her rent. When she begins to experience very real and disturbing visions, she suspects they could be related to the recent cases of women gone missing in town. When Clara meets Lily, an ex-Soho art gallery girl who is working at a desolate casino spa and reeling from a personal tragedy, she thinks Lily may be able to help her. But Lily has her own demons to face. If they can put the pieces together in time, they may save another lost girl--so long as their efforts don't attract perilous attention first. Can they break the ill-fated cycle, or will they join the other victims?… (más)

This novel tells the story of several murdered women dumped in the salt marsh behind a decaying motel on the outskirts of Atlantic City. The story centers on Lily, who recently moved back home after a bad break-up and takes a job as a receptionist at a casino spa, and Clara, a teenager working on the boardwalk as a fortune teller and whose guardian is pressuring her to take on some riskier work. There are missing girls who have family looking for them, missing women who have family who hope they will one day come home, and there are women whose absence goes unremarked and unmourned. Lily and Clara form a tenuous friendship as they look for a missing teenage girl and try to find a local sex worker when she goes missing.

This isn't a traditionally-structured crime novel. The focus is on the lives of the women before they disappear and remains on the dangers experienced by women on the fringes of society in a failing town dedicated to vice. The portrayal of Atlantic City is so well done and heartbreaking. Each woman, regardless of her decisions, is a fully drawn character with hopes and dreams and a fully-realized past. This isn't a novel about a serial killer, but one about his victims. ( )

This is the best mystery that I have read in years. Like many, we do have a mass murderer preying on yound women. The novel takes place in a decaying Atlantic City where the bodies are discarded in a marshland near an isolated beach. The main characters are a sixteen year old tarot card reader (and seer) and a lady newly hired working at a casino health spa. The two eventually link up to try to solve the mystery of the missing women. This will make a great movie. ( )
