The Missing
Fleur McDonald
Reviewed by Helen
Fleur McDonald has taken me back to Kalgoorlie for another action packed mystery, it is missing person’s week and a new radio announcer, Lily Carter has arrived in town and given the Kalgoorlie Police station a blast for their lack of looking into a young teenager, Brendan Cook who went missing last year, also new to town is Detective Angie Sullivan when she hears this she is determined to find answers and then another young teenager Max Galbraith goes missing is there a link? Angie is going to leave no stone unturned in her search for answers.
Angie gets a search underway but with old mine shafts anything could have happened questioning Max’s friends uncovers a few leads but they don’t get any further, then another teenage goes missing a friend of Max’s Bree and Angie pushes more there are a lot of people to question, and then a phone call gives them their biggest lead and from here on in danger abounds on a property further out with help from an old war veteran will they rescue Max and Bree and get the answers they need and will they get the perpetrator?
This had me turning the pages to find out everything, fabulous characters I really like Angie and Lily and Smurf was wonderful of course catching up with Jack and finding out how things are with Zara after the last book was good and I enjoyed getting to know Angie and a bit of her personal life, I am hoping that Angie will be in the next book and Jack too,
This is a fast paced, action packed crime, mystery that I would highly recommend to any reader who loves a good story that keeps you thinking.
