Pan-Paperback: "Fear the Worst" by Linwood Barclay

 Pan-Paperback: Fear the Worst by Linwood Barclay, 2010, 9780553591750. Backdated to correct year.

Not sure where this book came from. Maybe the first Barclay book I've read.

Tim is a car salesman in Connecticut, is divorced, and his teenage daughter goes missing. The daughter went missing when going to her part-time job.Tim has been looking for her for months. Posting fliers, asking questions, checking with her friends. Someone sees her or something.

 I don't really remember the plot too much but there are some elements that are a bit of stretch. SPOILERS. That the daughter's best friend is actually Tim's unknown daughter. That Unknown Daughter is a scheming crook. That Tim's crazy ex-girlfriend is causing so much trouble.

 Anyway. It was a decent paperback thriller.
