These are the final two books in the Framed trilogy. I read them right away after our trip to DC. However, both the moms haven’t even started reading them, because apparently their “mom stuff” is much more important. I felt that I enjoyed these books just as much as the first one, a truly remarkable thing to find in sequels.

I think my favorite of the three was Vanished. I really liked the change of setting. My favorite thing about it though, was the addition of new characters. I also noticed that no part of the plot seemed like a repeat of the first book, which I thought would have been difficult to do with this book (and mysteries in general.)

I think that you should read this series if you like mysteries and realistic fiction, or if you don’t!
