This book was extremely well-written and cleverly crafted!
Short synopsis: Julia, a local detective, is leading a new case involving a missing woman. However, when the lines between her personal and work life begin to crosss, what will she do to protect her family?
Thoughts: It took me some time to get into the story as there was a lot of character and plot building. However, once I got to about half way, and discovered how complex and convoluted the story was, I could not put the book down. Seriously, I was blown away by some of the twists and loved how the book went in the opposite direction than my initial predictions. As the POVs and timelines were not straightforward, I do recommend reading this one over listening. Or if you do plan to listen to the audiobook, have a physical copy nearby as I was rereading many parts! Also, just like in WPWT, I appreciated how the characters were real and flawed. It made me empathize with them more, even when I did not always agree with their decisions, and make me think about what I’d do if I were in these shoes.
Read if you like:
-Unique thrillers
-Missing persons cases
-Multiple POVs
-Mother/ daughter relationships
-UK setting
Thank you WM for the ARC! Pub 8/1/23

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I couldn’t get invested in the story. I think there were too many characters, and with name changes, it got too confusing. When the twist came, I didn’t care. I just wanted to be done. The story had no flow and felt thrown together.
I liked Gillian’s last title Wrong Place, Wrong Time. This one was quite the let down.

Wow! Twists and turns abound in this masterfully plotted novel. Much like in Wrong Place Wrong Time, this book took me a little while to get into, but once it gets going you can't put it down. I liked that the characters were complex and flawed, which made them more believable. Just Another Missing Person asks the question, "How far would you go for the people you love?" You'll have to read it to find out. Highly recommended! Expected publication is August 1, 2023.
Thank you NetGalley and William Morrow for the ARC.

I listened to the entire book and couldn't tell you a thing that happened. It never got interesting.
