Just Another Missing Person: The gripping new thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author

Product Information

She blames herself for being distracted when her daughter accidentally wounded a mugger, leading to his consequential death. He tells her that her family's safety depends on one thing: Julia must NOT find out what happened to Olivia - and must frame somebody else for her murder . In fact, she did a great job throughout quashing any doubts I had about specific plot points except for one. I did not like the main protagonist at all - couldn't connect with some of the things that she did and could think of other ways she could have handled this. It was a slow burn at first but then continued to gain momentum while you drop your jaw at every corner you turn.

For Julia, there is no question: She has done, and will continue to do, whatever she can to protect Genevieve, and she consoles herself with the hope that if she can find Olivia alive, then no real harm will have been done. Her relentless pursuit of the truth and the dilemmas she faces add layers of complexity to the narrative. DCI Julia Day is a dedicated, some would even say work-obsessed, detective in Portishead, England, so when she’s summoned from dinner with her husband and daughter to investigate a report of missing woman Olivia Johnson, she’s all in.I listened to the audiobook and although the book's full-cast narration was superb, perhaps reading the eb00k was the way to go with this title. If you're looking for an original, intelligent, riveting, deliciously twisty, addictive, and exceptionally well-written thriller, you've found yourself a gem! All I know is, trust nothing and no one in this home run of a thriller and you might just be one step ahead of the game. Or if you do plan to listen to the audiobook, have a physical copy nearby as I was rereading many parts! While I wish for you a more idyllic reading setting, this is the kind of thriller that will make you forget the world around you—so regardless, you’re in for a treat.

While the start of the case looks to be rather bewildering at first blush, Julia, thanks to twenty years of service, knows what this kind of case will entail—plenty of long hours, desperate loved ones, and often way too few answers. So, I think this is another best seller for this talented author whose books I find absolutely gripping.it is in some self-contained way a defensible path which julia embarks upon - an arguably moral one - for her motivation is simply to protect her daughter, genevieve, and sacrifices, even those of our our own ethics, are an expedient of motherhood. The plot is riddled with mysteries like Easter eggs that you have to uncover one by one, all interconnected.

It seems like just another missing woman case (see what I did there 😂😜) but it's anything but when DCI Julia Day is instructed to frame someone to protect her own secret. Again, I love an author who manipulates the prose to carve out her own 'voice', but sometimes she deployed this 3 times in one pages which is too damn much. She's a master at bending different timelines, confusing our minds with multiple narrators' statements, and dragging us into a puzzle-solving frenzy.Detail-oriented, black-and-white bound DCI Julia Day is on the case of the recent disappearance of twenty-two year old Olivia Johnson.
