“Missing, Presumed” by Susie Steiner
Published by The Borough Press
Finished 10/23/16 - 3/5 stars
A young lady goes missing from her flat in England. There are no firm leads, just initial guesses
by the police as they try to link this disappearance to other people and
events. As the story goes on, you come
to think you may know what happened to her, but you won’t figure out the why. At least I didn’t – I thought that piece pretty
much came out of left field when revealed.
You know of someone’s involvement, but not to what extent or why until
they confess.
The story is told by a total of five characters…..truly, I
think it could have been done with just two or three. The main narrator is one of the lead police
officers who brings her own storyline of finding herself and what she wants out
of life. She definitely has relationship
issues, but she’s my favorite character in the book.
I only give this book 3 out of 5 stars because I was
expecting a lot more suspense with this type of storyline. It was not a page turner. And I didn’t like the way the mystery piece
was wrapped up in a bow towards the end.
I liked how the police officers story ended though.
