Missing Person
Missing Person | Sarah Lotz
5 posts | 7 read | 9 to read
From acclaimed thriller writer Sarah Lotz, hailed by Stephen King as "vastly entertaining," a new novel about a group of amateur detectives infiltrated by the sadistic killer whose crimes they're investigating. Reclusive bookseller Shaun Ryan has always believed that his uncle Teddy died in a car accident twenty years ago. Then he learns the truth: Teddy fled his home in Catholic, deeply conservative County Wicklow, Ireland, for New York and hasn't been heard from since. None of Shaun's relatives will reveal why they lied about his uncle's death or why they want Shaun to leave the whole affair alone. But Shaun has a burning need to find out the truth. His search is unsuccessful until he's contacted by Chris Guzman, a woman who runs a website dedicated to matching missing-persons cases with unidentified bodies. Chris and her team of cold-case obsessives suspect that Shaun is looking for the "Boy in the Dress," one victim in a series of gay men murdered by the same killer. But who are these internet fanatics really, and how do they know so much about a case that has stumped police for decades? Soon armchair sleuths and professional investigators are on a collision course with a sadistic serial killer who's gotten away with his crimes for far too long - and now they're in his sights.

Compelling, suspenseful, and well-written. It takes a little bit to kick into gear, and it felt about 50 pages too long, but otherwise was a sensational piece of thriller fiction.

I really enjoyed Lotz's latest, a slow burn about a killer who infiltrates a web sleuthing community. Only read two books this week due to work demands, but enjoyed both of them.

Cathythoughts Sounds like a good one 👍🏻 4y
Reggie I like her a lot. I read The Three and have always meant to go back to her. 4y
vivastory @Cathythoughts I actually think you'd love it. It reminded me of Tana French. 4y
vivastory @Reggie Same here. Whatever you do though, avoid the follow-up to The three. But White Road is solid as well. 4y
Cathythoughts Enough said !! I‘ll look into it 👍🏻❤️ 4y

I'm a little under halfway through and I'm greatly enjoying Lotz's latest. Vastly underrated IMO.

Very entertaining book about a young Irish man who is looking for his missing uncle in the US. Thought the characters who support his quest through their sleuthing website were well drawn. Really liked the mixed use of text messages, email and straightforward text. 4.5 stars
