A review by exorcismemily
The Missing by C.L. Taylor

3.0

I have mixed feelings on The Missing. I enjoyed the concept, but I ended up having some issues. I think I would have liked it more if it was shorter. The plot isn't crazy detailed, and a lot of time was spent waiting for something to happen. The "whodunnit" was different than what I expected, so that's always good. I got hooked on to some of the red herrings, so I was surprised at the end. Overall, I liked the story, but it was a little too long. It wasn't great, and it wasn't bad, but it's probably not something I would reread.

As a side note, there was a bit of victim-blaming that I wasn't crazy about. It wasn't happening the whole book, and I guess I kind of understand why it was in there, but I still wasn't a fan of it.
