Finding Milly by Nathan Burrows Crime/thriller
“Can Jimmy uncover the truth about Milly’s disappearance before it’s too late—for either of
them? “
Jimmy lives with his 24 year old daughter Milly. His wife died ten years ago and he and
Milly are close, but not that close that he knows what she does every waking hour- she’s
a grown woman after all. Jimmy has been suffering some devastating headaches and
finally decides to get it checked out. When they tell him he has a massive aneurysm
which means he potentially only has a few weeks to live as surgery is not possible,
understandably Jimmy’s world changes. He decides the first person he will tell, of
course is Milly. For a while she doesn’t answer her phone which is not unusual, but as
the hours turn to days he begins to worry and involves the police, registering her as a
missing person. Jimmy’s clock is ticking and he needs to find Milly before it is too late.
Oooh! This quickly drew me in and kept me there. I liked Jimmy. slightly rough around
the edges but with a heart of gold. The type of person you would want on your side
knowing he would do anything for you as long as you were in his good books. A
wonderful read and one to keep you within its pages. This is my first book by this
author and look forward to more in the future. A very entertaining read.

Book Description:
Jimmy Tucker is dying. There’s only one person he wants to tell. His daughter—Milly. But when he gets home from the hospital, she’s vanished without a trace.
The inoperable brain aneurysm deep within Jimmy’s head could burst at any time—a cough, a sneeze, or a blow to the head could kill him instantly. With the police not interested in Milly’s disappearance, Jimmy takes things into his own hands and begins to look for his only daughter. But it doesn’t take him long to realise that his daughter is not the woman he thinks she is.
As he gradually discovers Milly’s shocking private life, Jimmy enlists the help of Gareth Dawson, an ex-crook with a big heart. But Gareth can only help Jimmy up to a point.
As the pressure mounts, can Jimmy uncover the truth about Milly’s disappearance before it’s too late—for either of them?
