Just Another Missing Person

Average rating3.6
I'm learning that I'm a not a big fan of books with differing perspectives. The change in writing style and jump in timeline ends up throwing me, and I tend to favour one voice over the rest.
In this case, the differing perspectives worked well for the story, and the twists within it. The plot dived into unrealistic territories at times but, in saying that, I did find myself racing through it to unravel the tale and all the little pieces of loose thread woven throughout.
Sadly, the ending and the twists didn't quite live up to the expectations spelled out at the beginning of the book, and it ended up just falling a bit flat. But, boy, can McAllister build up to something brilliantly.
A mixed bag for me, but ultimately I did enjoy this and McAllister is a author I will keep an eye out for, for sure.

After absolutely loving 'Wrong Place, Wrong Time', this was a massive disappointment.
40% in and I'm bored to tears and have absolutely no inclination to get back to it.
The story wasn't that interesting, the different POVs were confusing, especially with the change of third to second person between them. Also the main detective seemed like a total wet blanket with zero personality apart from making terrible decisions.
I'm not writing this author off but this one wasn't for me at all.
