Thank you to NetGalley and William Morrow publishing for the ARC of Just Another Missing Person in exchange for an honest review. I know that everyone states that the second half gets better but I'm just not invested in this story enough to continue.

JUST ANOTHER MISSING PERSON | Kirkus Reviews

This book dives into a few different storylines that explode after 22-year old Olivia is declared missing.These are fully developed characters with the exception of our villain, and although all of the story lines didn’t come together in the end, I enjoyed this too much to care! If you like the kind of thrillers you find on Kindle Unlimited (no shade, but you know what I mean) then maybe you will find this too slow and boring. 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.

I loved that every character had an important role in this story, but Lewis's point of view was the most enjoyable for me. When 22 year old Olivia vanishes following an appearance on a CCTV entering a dead end alley, her case is turned over to senior detective in charge of missing persons, Julia, who is dealing with her own familial issues. I was working while listening and my kindle battery almost died ( audible for kindle ) I couldn’t believe it! and yet, in having julia be otherwise such an upstanding, morally inflexible and by the book character, it does compel a re-examination of ourselves. However, after that most of the time I was like “why does it feel like I am reading a literary fiction?

The plot is riddled with mysteries like Easter eggs that you have to uncover one by one, all interconnected.

We are—well, ask Bigfoot, as Brooks does in this delightful yarn, following on his bestseller World War Z (2006). Twisty, heart-aching, wildly smart, crammed with compelling, morally gray characters, and tender, unexpected redemption. Brooks is a pro at building suspense even if it plays out in some rather spectacularly yucky episodes, one involving a short spear that takes its name from “the sucking sound of pulling it out of the dead man’s heart and lungs.The plot revolves around Olivia, a 22-year-old who disappeared without a trace, leaving behind many inconsistencies that rub Julia, the detective, the wrong way. Because 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 . It tells the story of three parents willing to compromise their moral principles to safeguard their children, leading them to unveil their hidden, darker secrets.

One of the most compelling aspects of the plot is how her mind flits back and forth as she tries to navigate the turbulent waters. So, for me to complain about characters having a multitude of identities and motives (known and unknown)? It was a slow burn at first but then continued to gain momentum while you drop your jaw at every corner you turn.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.
