Review
'This novel is a compulsive page-turner that held me engrossed deep into the night, so eager was I to discover Julia's dark secret and the reason for her flight. Dunne is a very talented storyteller, and, as the threads of the tale unravelled and the tension built, I found it impossible to resist the urge to race on towards the revelation and climax. There are darkness and suspense aplenty in Missing Julia , but so too is there raw emotion in all its stark, vulnerable and fragile humanity.' --Niamh Greene, Irish Times Niamh Greene, Irish Times
'Tense, dramatic read on the emotive topic of euthanasia. Set in Dublin and spanning 40 years, Dunne's latest story asks tough questions, not only of its characters but also if its reader' --Image magazine
'Missing Julia, her eighth novel, is replete with her storytelling skills... Dunne is adept at conveying the blandness of middle-class lives and the boredom in the comfortable homes of her well-heeled characters. She conveys, too, the family jealousies and the disenchantment of children whose parents do not live up to expectations' --Irish Independent
'This is the 8th novel form Dunne; as per her previous books, she has a great talent for making the minutiae of life fascinating and for exploring the emotional background of her characters with great finesse' --Sunday Tribune
'A powerful novel from a bestselling author that deals with life, love and what drives people to seek peace and forgiveness' --U magazine
'Catherine Dunne is a captivating writer. In her latest novel, Missing Julie, she delves into the mundane subject of middle age and turns it on its heels to get inside the minds of two complicated characters.' --Evening Echo
`...evocative prose...compelling' --The Independent
`Nail-biting suspense and raw emotion are the driving force behind Dunne's compelling story which explores one of the most difficult decisions we might have to make.'
--Wigan Evening Post
`A heart-warming tale' --Woman & Home
`The author is skilled at organising her material to keep the reader pushing forward. The matters lying at the heart of Julia's actions prove contentious and require skill and subtlety in their handling, both of which Dunne applies' --Sunday Times
`...Dunne is a novelist of substance. Her evocative prose has much in common with Gébler's. Together, you might see them as providing a before-and-after picture of Ireland, each half equally compelling' --Independent and Belfast Telegraph

Sorry to disagree. I really enjoyed this and found it difficult to put down.
Just as good as her other books.

I do not read a lot of fiction, but find Catherine Dunne's books to be compelling reads.Missing Julia kept me enthralled because it dealt with a very emotive topic and the consequences for those affected by it in a very sensitve way. The sense of an emotional journey with all the anguish it entails was mirrored by the long physical journey in the story;I saw the latter as an analogy of the former. A physical journey has twists and turns and the journey which is described by the author, for me, reflected the difficulties of the emotional journey. Yes, there were some coincidences, but who does not come across those in real life?

I agree completely with the first reviewers comments.
Bought this book as I had really enjoyed other Catherine Dunnes books , but not this one.
The whole plot device was so weak it wasnt saved by the writing.
Maybe this was churned out to meet a deadline
I skipped through the last third of the book to the predictable enough ending
