I started reading these books a few years ago and cannot remember why in the world I would stop because they were so great! They were Mysteries/Thrillers. The story focused around a woman who was an artist that no longer pianted for shows. After the kiddnapping of her daughter Bonnie and the fact the they never found her or her body, she now does facial reconstructions for the POLICE/FBI. She lives with one of those police men who loves her and takes care of her when she forgets to take care of herself. I believe the cops name is Joe and I'm forgetting her name but the work together on these cases to fing the bad guys. Oh, and her daughter Bonnie also reappeares to her and they have conversations about the cases and other things.
