This is another book that I read recently that shocked me by the end. I have this tendency to try to predict how a story is going to end and I love when I can't guess what is going to happen. That's how I feel about this author's books. Lots of twists and turns and beautiful character development. Julia is a cop that is also a mom and a wife, who loves her family. She gets put in a compromising situation and has to decide if she is going to protect her family or stick to her values and integrity. The last chapter is what got me the most though (I won't spoil anything). Seriously so good and highly recommend if you like thrillers and suspense novels.

Entertaining as always. Gillian McAllister is a consistent first purchase for collections where thrillers are popular.

This book starts slowwwww. It was tough for me to push through and get to the good parts in the second half. It felt like the first half was all exposition and setting up the framework for the second half - which should be done outside of the awareness of the reader. Other than pacing, characters were well-written and plot itself was good.

DCI Julia Day is investigating a missing person case very similar to one that happened the year before.
But someone wants to make sure Julia doesn't find her. And they know something that could jeopardize Julia's career and her daughter's life.
First of all, the blackmail, which is disclosed early on in the novel, so I don't think I'm giving too much away, is literally self-defense. I don't think Julia, who is supposed to be a straight-as-an-arrow cop, would cover it up. Then there are so many inconsistencies to the plot.
I just couldn't get into the crime or the characters. The plot was just too unbelievable with a predictable ending.
Disappointing.

The ending was very predictable and boring. I could tell who did it since the beginning. It was blah

Thanks to NetGalley for allowing me to read this in exchange for an honest opinion.

Really loved Wrong Time Wrong Place and was a tiny bit disappointed with this one. Wanted to love it, but just liked it. Lots of stuff about the inner workings of police stations, detectives, etc, just not my thing. Still compulsively readable tho!

I adored Gillian McAllisters last book Wrong Place Wrong Time so I was thrilled to have the opportunity to read her newest Just Another Missing Person. Once I started reading I could not stop. This book is told by multiple characters and has multiple time lines. Several times I thought I knew what was happening but was totally off base. This is a fast paced mystery/thriller. Check it out, you will not be disappointed.

A young woman disappears into an alley. With no history of such behavior the mystery must be delved into to solve the crime.

As the detective gets closer her family insists that she frame someone else for the murder.

This who-done-it is full of twists and turns and kept my interest all the way through.
