It hasn’t been a really great few months for Duncan Walsh. In fact he’s gotten fired from his job and is barely surviving in a metropolis that seems determined to evict him. That is until he meets Agnes, a girl very unlike anyone he’s ever met, a girl who’s interning at the Field Museum while completing her dissertation and her double major. Unfortunately for him, Agnes has a boyfriend and is planning to go on a trip, to an archaeological dig as a matter of fact. But then on the very morning she’s all set to leave, Agnes disappears. The police are convinced she’s run off on a spree. Her boyfriend (who just happens to be the police commander’s son) as well as her parents aren’t so convinced. Six Months of September is more than a story of a man looking for a woman who just might be the girl of his dreams.

Mark Allen definitely has an intriguing mystery on his hands with Six Months of September. I was very interested in Duncan and Agnes’ relationship, even though they barely knew each other as the story began. I was also intrigued with the lengths to which he was willing to go in order to find her. Duncan isn’t just a journalist, he’s a detective and a hero for everything he did to help Agnes with no knowledge that there would be anything good in it for him at the end. But he was determined, after only knowing Agnes a short time, that something was wrong and those gut feelings rarely fail a person in the end. This book was very intriguing. I loved the characters and loved how it developed.
