The Missing | Melanie Florence

After a girl she knows from school goes missing and is found dead in the Red River, Feather is shocked when the police write it off as a suicide. Then, it's Feather's best friend, Mia, who vanishes ? but Mia's mom and abusive stepfather paint Mia as a frequent runaway, so the authorities won't investigate her disappearance either. Everyone knows that Native girls are disappearing and being killed, but no one is connecting the dots. When Feather's brother Kiowa is arrested under suspicion of Mia's abduction, Feather knows she has to clear his name. What Feather doesn't know is that the young serial killer who has taken Mia has become obsessed with Feather, and her investigation is leading her into terrible danger. Using as its background the ongoing circumstance of unsolved cases of missing and murdered Aboriginal women, this fictional thriller set in Winnipeg explores one teenager's response to a system that has long denied and misrepresented the problem.

Feather‘s friend, Carli, disappears and is then found dead in the Red River. It is ruled a suicide. Feather is shocked to learn how many aboriginal women are missing or murdered with local police doing little to solve the crimes. Then Feather‘s best friend, Mia, disappears. Is someone close to Feather and Mia responsible? Young YA is the audience for this work reminding us of the injustices suffered by many indigenous women. ⭐️⭐️⭐️out of 5.

This is the second book in a project I'm doing on 12 #YA books by Indigenous women (the first was Will's Garden by Lee Maracle). Set in Winnipeg, The Missing is about a young woman who takes the case of missing Aboriginal women into her own hands. #WeNeedDiverseBooks

Sorry I've been gone for a week. Too many insomnia issues, then menstrual issues, and work, and migraines. It's been rough. But I've been reading a bit, and watching Monarch of the Glen again (easy to have on in the background and it's nice to look at). Also trying to make myself weed out some books and thin out my library pile.

ApoptyGina69 Glad you're feeling about better. I LOVE Monarch of the Glen. I watched it on PBS years ago and I've had the DVD boxed set on my Amazon wish list for ages. One of these days! 8y
Louise Hang in there! Aches and pains can be such a challenge! Thank goodness for the stories that keep us company along the way! ❤️📚 8y
DebinHawaii Hopefully you are feeling better and continue to do so. That's no fun. 🤕 8y
LauraBrook @ApoptyGina69 @Louise @DebinHawaii Thank you! Finally feeling better after the last week of crap. Helps that I've been at home the last day or so and been reading a lot. Oh, and Advil is a help too. 😉 8y

This was an ARC from Netgalley. It was an interesting story. I just think it needed more
