Product Description

It's an early autumn day like any other as Miles Avery drives his wife, Jacqueline, to the station. There's a smattering of rain in the air, the traffic is in its usual snarl, and the radio's churning out the latest news. Nothing remarkable crops up in conversation, nor do either of them appear anything other than their normal selves. At the station Miles draws up just past the taxi rank. Jacqueline gets out, takes an overnight bag from the back seat, then turns towards the platforms. This is the last anyone sees of her.

Three weeks after her disappearance, Miles calls the police. Enquiries are made, but there is no evidence of her boarding a train, or even entering the station. Very soon the finger of suspicion starts to turn towards Miles, and as dark secrets from the past start to merge with those of the present, the great love he has been trying to protect is not only revealed but thrown into terrible jeopardy...

Excellent 26 Mar 2010
By Wendy Jones TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
For various reasons this book has been sitting on my bookshelf for weeks without me reading it and what a mistake that was. From the first page to the last it kept me gripped and I had to keep reading to find out what happens next. The story involves 2 children who had gone missing 16 years apart and there is one person who is linked to both children. I can't say too much more without giving the plot away, but believe me the plot is good. It is essentally a police procedural, but the main character is not a cop. The author describes the characters well and I found myself immersed in their stories and lives. There are enough twists and turns that just when you think you are getting to grips with the storyline a twist leaves you reeling and wondering what is going to happen next. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes a good murder mystery. I look forward to reading the next book from this author.

page turning book 19 Mar 2010
By Lendrick VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
I thought The Missing was absolutely amazing and couldn't have been better written. The emotions were woven in to the words and jumped out at me every time I read them. I felt through the book that I was Sarah. It had me constantly wanting more and to read on and on! The story line took me by surprise and made me jump with each twist it took and then the ending surprised me the most but I won't give it away! A plot that was divided so many times it was almost impossible to follow but not quite and that kept me wanting more kept me needing to know how it would resolve! Then the memories between the chapters, memories of when Charlie went missing are so emotionally tiring. How she fits all that emotion in to just a few pages I cannot explain. Lastly the way she describes creates such a vivid picture before my eyes.

(review by my 12 year old daughter)

By J.Flood
Format:Paperback
When Sarah Finch was a child her older brother Charlie disappeared, never to be seen again. Sixteen years later, Sarah, is working as a teacher in the same area, when one of the schoolgirls she teaches goes missing. It is Sarah who discovers her body a few days later, in the local woods, when out jogging.

I was expecting this novel to be a real page turner, and it grabbed my interest at the start, but I thought overall that the story was a bit sluggish, and only got going in parts. I also thought some of the actions of the main character, and occasionally the police, were a bit improbable at times, which got a bit infuriating. Not a terrible book by any means, but a bit disappointing.
