The Missing
The Missing | Jane Casey
7 posts | 3 read | 4 to read
Jenny Shepherd is twelve years old and missing... Her teacher, Sarah Finch, knows better than most that the chances of finding her alive are diminishing with every day she is gone. As a little girl her older brother had gone out to play one day and never returned. The strain of never knowing what has happened to Charlie had ripped Sarah's family apart. Now in her early twenties, she is back living at home, trapped with a mother who drinks too much and keeps her brother's bedroom as a shrine to his memory. Then, horrifically, it is Sarah who finds Jenny's body, beaten and abandoned in the woods near her home. As she's drawn into the police investigation and the heart of a media storm, Sarah's presence arouses suspicion too. But it not just the police who are watching her...

#ThankfulThursday @Cosmos_Moon

DS Maeve Kerrigan reminds me of myself.

1. I was a fast runner and always came in first place at summer camp at my neighborhood playground.

2. I am grateful for my husband who does the dishes, the wash and the food shopping. He spoils me.

Can you play?

angieinwonderland @EadieB I didn't see the top question at first and was all set to answer the other two. I can't for the life of me come up with something. I can think of tv characters but not a book character. This a tough one! 4y
EadieB @angieinwonderland Just use the TV characters! No problem! 4y
Cosmos_Moon_River Amazing husband! I thought I struck gold when I got a husband that cleans... but shopping too!?? Way to go 🥰 4y

Casey‘s debut psychological thriller. I would have to say that she has been talented right from the start of her writing career! Thought I knew who the killer was but a surprise twist right at the end took care of that thought. I have read all her books at this point but I am anxiously awaiting another Kerrigan book coming out in April. If you haven‘t read Casey yet, what are you waiting for? She does not disappoint! #TheMissing #JaneCasey

Andrew65 Great review and like you I followed the same plan with the killer. 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 She led us down that path! 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB She did! 5y

Jane Casey has become one of my favourite authors recently and this excellent standalone totally reinforces it. Loved this book, although took me a few chapters to get into it. Left me not wanting to put it down. Some dark abuse material in here but the whole book was superbly written and plenty of suspense and tension through the book right up to the final page. Totally recommended.
First book finished for #24B4Monday. I‘m at 5 hrs 50 mins.

EadieB Nice review! I‘m reading this today too. I‘m on page 150 and enjoying it very much! @Andrew65 (edited) 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB I think it only gets better and more addictive from that point! Thanks 😊 5y
BeansPage A wonderful start to this readathon honey! 👍😊👍 5y
Andrew65 @SumisBooks Thanks 😊👍 5y

I finally have time to take part in the end of the month readathon, is it #24b4Monday (?). Anyway, these are the books I plan on starting with. Might not be enough though, but I plan on finishing these. It‘s a read killing spree I‘ve got planned 😂 Who else will take part in the read-a-thon?

Andrew65 The Missing is missing at my local library! 🤯 So still trying to get hold of a copy. 5y
Tove_Reads @andrew65 They are taking it too literally... 🤔🤷🏼‍♀️ 5y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads That‘s what I thought. 😢 5y

Andrew65 It is #24B4Monday, but doing a special end of the year one again and also using the tag #24B42020. The end of the year one will be an extended one running for 5 days from 27th - 31st December so ends with the start of the new year. Will be great to have you playing along. (edited) 5y
Tove_Reads @andrew65 Thanks! Then I def need a few more books if it‘s over five days. Well, not a chance in the world I would be running out of reading material... 😂 5y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads No I‘m sure that won‘t happen! 😂 5y
Crazeedi @Andrew65 @Tove_Reads thanks for the info! I will have company one of the days, so not sure what I'll get read, but I'll do my best! 5y
Bookwormjillk I can‘t wait! 5y
Andrew65 @Bookwormjillk A great way to end the year. 5y
Andrew65 @Crazeedi That‘s the beauty of five days. Plenty of time around commitments or days where got visitors. 5y
Crazeedi @Andrew65 that's what I'm thinking too!! Yay!!! 5y
Tove_Reads @andrew65 Did they find it? 5y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Not yet and now shut until the New Year. 😔 5y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Yes and the kindle version is more than willing to pay. Fancy shutting down all over Christmas! 5y
Tove_Reads @andrew65 We had libraries open on Christmas Day even. Have you finished Lie down with lions? 5y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Not yet, been busy trying to finish off challenges which delayed me. Unusually so. 5y
Tove_Reads @andrew65 Missing is not on unlimited? 5y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Unfortunately not, I have put in a request for the library to buy an e-book of it. 5y

Listening to the audiobook of this. The lady reading it is very posh so most characters sound like the queen! Persevering though as the story isn‘t too bad. #audiobook #poshnarrator
