Synopsis – The Missing Ones
Ray Eke has always found peace in his job, collecting litter for the city council. Until the day he finds the brutalized, bloodless body of a girl on his round. He recognizes her immediately too. Lauren Pascoe went missing three years before.
It’s also clear she hasn’t been lying on the roadside verge all this time. Someone’s clearly been holding her prisoner. Keeping her as their very special toy.
The police know it couldn’t have been Ray, whose gentle heart is obvious to all. But then another girl is taken. And she’s someone who Ray had a connection to, back in his previous job as an accountant, before his breakdown…
The twists in this novel are guaranteed to leave readers with their jaws on the floor. Just when you think you know who the killer is, you’ll have your mind blown!

My Review
The Missing Ones by Anita Waller
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This story started well and I was engaged with the story. However, it was much more graphic and gruesome than I was expecting.
Though I found the story to be slow in parts with unnecessary details I was very interested in reading how it would all unfold.
I had guessed some of the ending relatively early. After a slow build the ending seemed a bit anticlimactic and left way too many unanswered questions. I wished there had been more information provided. Despite this, I think if you are someone who enjoys crime dramas then you should give this book a go!
