Missing Daisy — T.G. Gilpin

In Missing Daisy, T. G. Gilpin makes us feel the panic of a mother whose little girl has vanished from a quiet public street in broad daylight, and the anguish when that child is found dead.
The suspense builds when a twelve-year-old schoolboy whose parents are involved in a nasty divorce announces that one of his teachers tried to lure him into his car. The teacher, unjustly accused and suspected of worse, sets out to discover who killed little Daisy, and in doing that, to clear his name. His search and what leads up to it make this a nail-biting whodunit that mingles suspense with entertainment for a delightful read.
