Obsession can be deadly. That's what Dom Stewart discovers when his buddy, Phil, goes missing. Dom has long coveted Robin, Phil's beautiful wife...is it time for him to step in? Detective Luca is also dazzled by Robin - even while acknowledging she may be involved in Phil's disappearance. Luca struggles with his heart as the investigation reveals the case is about much more than a missing man. Something dark and disturbing is behind the scenes. Is there a murder here?

As fraud and romantic interests verging on pathological fixation emerge, the question remains: What happened to Phil?

Real places in our town of Naples are the backdrop of a well-crafted "who-done-it"

Real places in our town of Naples are the backdrop of a well-crafted "who-done-it"
I can visualize myself having a coffee across from Det. Luca and his partner, Mary-Ann Vargas at a local eatery, or passing by them on a local avenue as they work to solve this case. Dan Petrosini crafts characters who have authenticity and humanity, creating realism for us. And, he combines the characters' personal thoughts as they progress through the questions, the investigations, so we get a close view of how they all "feel." Can't wait to take another romp around my town with Luca!

Vanished (A Luca Mystery #2), my third read from author Dan Petrosini. Seriously well-developed, it takes some getting used to as the author writes in both the first person and also the third. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reading & reviewing it. Andrew Start’s narration adds to the book's enjoyment. Owning both the Kindle & Audible editions I was able to follow along while being read to. I look forward to reading more from this author and in this series. Next up is The Serenity Murder (Luca Mystery #3). "I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Great follow-on to Book 1! Very hard to put down. Just about when you figure you've nailed it, the next twist sends you in a new direction. Highly readable, from an author who prides himself on a quality and style of writing that does not interfere with the story line. A fine read!

"Vanished: A Luca Mystery Crime Thriller" is a fast paced, enjoyable read. Phil Gabelli is married to a beautiful, successful woman; but, he likes to play the field. One too many times he doesn't come home. This time though its permanent. Detective Frank Luca is on the case! Between the case, finding he has cancer, meeting Kayla, he finally brings the culprit to justice.
Dan Petrosini tells a good story. Told from the perspective of two charaters, Mr Petrosini does a pretty good job of separating the personalities of the two. Though, to me, the culprit was a little too obvious. There were quite a few minor editorial issues. There were not enough to make me put this book down. There was one error at the end that might have if it had happened in the beginning. Luca was going to speak to another cancer victim and said that he could "emphasized" with him. "Empathized" is the correct word! For this reason, I am only giving three stars. I still highly recommend this book and intend to read more of Frank Luca.

Robin beautiful, makes loads of money, and after ten years still puts up with her husband, Phil. He is a womanizer, now missing, his close friend.Dom. Why did he do this, was it a scheme to get her money. The plot has lots of good characters, to go with this plot that has alot of twists to it. The first I have read by him, and was very pleased with his writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars What is the hold Robin has over men? What happened to her husband Phil? Is he just gone or dead?

Luca is pulled into a beautiful woman's spell. The problem is, her husband is missing. Is he just missing or dead? Phil, is Robin's husband, but no one knows where he is. Dom Stewart is Phil's buddy. He has feelings for Robin and has for a while. Should he step in to Phil's shoes? There is a lot of things going on in this story. Mind games, twists and turns, and yet the question remains....What happened to Phil? Can Luca answer that question? You will need to read the book to find out. I voluntarily read ARC of this book. The review is my own opinion.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good plot, shame about the writing.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 10, 2018

This is so nearly a good book: the plot works and the characters have depth. A good editor could have made all the difference. First, by cutting out a lot of flab. There are whole pages of dialogue that do nothing but convey a scrap of information, and long scenes with a single plot-relevant line; I only made it to the end by skipping a lot. And when I got there I wanted to pull out a blue pencil and rewrite it: it manages to make unmasking the killer dull, which I wouldn't have thought possible. The finish was so plodding that the last thing I wanted was to know more about a character who'd been established as a crashing bore, someone you'd change tables to avoid. And it was a shame, because with better writing he could have been interesting.
