Although I have never read any of Linsey Lanier's full length mysteries featuring Miranda Steele, I felt obligated to read a few of the blurbs on these full length books' Amazon pages to get a better idea about the character before writing this review. Miranda is a woman who, as the full-length series begin, is looking for her missing daughter. Lanier attempts to explain what originally happened to Miranda in "The Day It Happened," billed as a "short story" prequel to the full-length series. While “The Day It Happened” is certainly short and fairly well written, this work would be hard to classify it as a story in the traditional sense.Lanier’s protagonist Miranda is a woman who, as "The Day It Happened" begins, is stuck in an abusive marriage with a cop who has very good connections to protect him from any legal repercussions for what he might do. Before the story begins, Miranda has the misfortune of being raped and becoming pregnant, which does not sit well with her husband. Shortly after the baby is born, the husband inflicts about as sadistic a punishment as possible on Miranda and she winds up literally out in the cold on her own.
Lanier is a skilled writer, and she does a good job in “Day” of creating an empathetic main character in Miranda and letting readers in on the thought processes of an abused woman. From what I’ve learned on the subject of such abuse, the author’s description of what occurs seems quite accurate and the events described, although a bit far fetched, are within the bounds of credibility in the realm of thriller fiction. “The Day It Happened” becomes a compelling read up until the last couple of pages.
Unfortunately, the conclusion of the story goes considerably off track. Instead of some final event occurring to provide dramatic closure, the story simply ends. Further, before that, the author rushes through the couple of previous pages that take Miranda from being out in the cold to the position in which she presumably finds herself at the beginning of the first full-length book in the series. In fact, the story ends with the author posing several questions (presumably to readers), then stating that readers can find out the answers in the later, longer books. Even though the ending isn’t a traditional cliffhanger, the style of writing resembles that of 40’s movie serials.
“The Day It Happened” is short, listed as 23 pages in its Amazon blurb, with the actual story taking up about 60% of that total (with the balance including an excerpt from Miranda’s first novel). Since the story is offered free, I can’t complain about receiving value for the money. But the description of this work as a “short story” is off, and this doesn’t feel quite right as a standalone work. My hunch is that this story may well be an excerpt from a novel that was edited out for pacing purposes. In any event, while it shows a good bit of authorial quality, it also needed some more editing before it could be considered a really good story on its own.

The Day It Happened A Miranda Rights Mystery Book 0 edition by Linsey Lanier Romance eBooks Reviews
I had already read the first book when I found this piece of fiction. It is an expanded section of the first part of the story found in "Someone Else's Daughter." Since I really enjoyed reading the first book I decided to read this one as well. If you, like me have already read the first book, you might want to skip this prelude. Given what I knew, I found the story very repetitive. In reality, it is more detailed but didn't seem like it
Not near enough plot to go on. Seems half finished. Started out decent, then kinda seemed rushed and lacking details.
There was no back history of Leon and Miranda. Other than knowing they were married and she had been raped and conceived a child due to the rape. There was nothing explaining why Leon was so cold towards her, outside of her being a rape victim, there had to be another reason as to why he treated her s coldly. Leon seemed to be abusive. That was not the first time he had put his hands on Miranda. What made him hate her to an extent of not wanting to help her get the help she needed to heal? A lot of blank spaces.
I got this to read before starting the other books in the series - glad it was free. It's depressing, as are many similar real life stories. It doesn't offer any hope of a brighter future, which is also true of many people's lives. But I read for pleasure & relaxation. If I wanted to read about things like this I'd read the newspaper, or just skip reading & watch the news on TV, or better yet, just knit or color or something else creative. Maybe even clean house & do the laundry. You get the picture, it's very depressing, but thankfully, short.
This "book" represents one of my pet peeves. The cover of the book with an empty cradle is very engaging. The story, which is very short, begins with a mother who is searching in her home for her missing baby and learns the baby was given away by her husband. So she begins searching for her daughter. And then the book ends.
Oh, yeah, if you want to know if she finds her baby you can buy book 2 in the series, but you still won't know because you also have to buy books 3, 4, and 5. But you STILL won't know because book 6, which may or may not be the final book, comes out this fall (fall of 2013). So a book you thought was "free" will end up costing you at least $10 and that's without adding in book 6, which of course is not out yet and so is not priced yet.
Don't even bother... There are many books that I think are "keepers" but this one I think is a "skipper".
Oak, Park IL. Miranda Groth was blessed with a new baby Amy.
Leon let her know it was her job to take care of the child.
She had put the child up for adoption.
1 day he threw her suitcase in the front lawn dragged her down the stairs & threw her out onto the porch.
Miranda found a job at a construction site.
She went back to her maiden name Miranda Steele.
I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.
A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written mystery (short story) book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great mystery movie, or better yet a mini TV series. To be continued. A very easy rating of 5 stars.
