'Just Another Missing Person' by Gillian McAllister
13 December 2024
Gillian McAllister writes crime thrillers that are meticulously plotted and genuinely scary, with twists that repeatedly pull the ground out from underneath the reader. Having enjoyed her previous three books I have now finished her latest novel 'Just Another Missing Person'. This appears to be a fairly conventional tale of the police investigating the disappearance of a young woman, but it quickly becomes much more complicated. Each chapter is presented through the eyes of one of the main protagonists but we are never properly introduced to these narrators so we naturally make assumptions about their role in the story, misleading ourselves ahead of the inevitable plot twists. This is fiction you have to read squinting between your fingers at times but it is always gripping.
