Just Another Missing Person by Gillian McAllister
mysterious
slow-paced
3.5
Twenty-two-year-old Olivia is spotted on CCTV camera entering a dead-end alley and never coming out again. When Julia is assigned the missing persons case, she must balance the frantic family's desperation with her own failing marriage and struggling daughter. But someone knows Julia's darkest secret, blackmailing her to frame someone for Olivia's murder.
A slow burn police procedural, Just Another Missing Person gets off to a slow start with multiple points of view that don't mesh well. Around the halfway mark, McAllister adds an interesting twist that amps up the intrigue level. However, the lack of character development made the ending lack much punch, making this thriller mostly mediocre.
