Just Another Missing Person by Gillian McAllister | Waterstones

I have loved every other book, so naturally I dropped the other book I was reading and started Just Another Missing Person. Detail-oriented, black-and-white bound DCI Julia Day is on the case of the recent disappearance of twenty-two year old Olivia Johnson. Vomited up… you are going to see that in a review (when I find a book worth reviewing-been hard to find anything not meh). 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.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 emotional depth and raw vulnerability of the characters added a human touch to the suspenseful plot.

When I realized this would be a detective novel I almost wanted to skip it, since I’ve grown tired of them. And that’s how I knew that this was a cream-of-the-crop thriller: even in the midst of jury duty, it managed to take me away and keep me enthralled through every page. It is mostly told from Julia’s POV, with a few others filling in some pieces of the puzzle as the story unfolds. I know that everyone states that the second half gets better but I'm just not invested in this story enough to continue.

Julia must NOT find out what happened to Olivia and frame someone else for her murder or if she chooses to find out the truth, she risks her family's future and safety. However, once I got to about half way, and discovered how complex and convoluted the story was, I could not put the book down. From the story building slow burn start to the epic catch-me-if-you-can middle, even the conclusion had its very own twist, delivering an altogether shocking turn of events. It was a satisfying conclusion that tied all the loose ends together and left me with a sense of fulfillment and admiration for the author's storytelling skills.

The new queen of the what-would-you-do crime thriller is back with a tightly-plotted and twist-packed tale which will send your head spinning and have you asking how far you would go to protect your child.When the book ended, I appreciated and applauded the author's clever twists, but felt that the book's storyline could have been better executed. with years of experience under her belt and a peerless work ethic, she’s more than equipped for the task. And what if this case is connected to her past demons, the other missing women cases she still couldn't solve, all leading to her own destiny? With jaw dropping twists, multilayered plot lines, and a really interesting mother/daughter bond that helps to fuel the intensity throughout, this book was loads of thriller fun and incredibly hard to put down.
