Book Review – The Missing, C L Taylor
I’ve always thought it is horrific when a child goes missing, never to be seen. No funeral, no mourning, no moving on.

Lisbeth has quite a few really good reasons to hate men and I believe Mr Larsson’s writing shows he was a true feminist
If you wish to analyse it further rather than just see it as a piece of fiction you can see a political tone to the novel.
The relationship between Peeta, Katniss and Gale is developed further, loyalties and romantic feelings between them being delved into throughout.
The colours and light change and drift from bright jewels of purple to stormy greys and back again. Your camera will not do it justice.
Here I identify a gap in the market. Reading glasses. Why don’t book shops sell them?
By the way there is a new genre creeping onto the bookshelves ‘New Adult’ which is YA with sex, odd really surely a new adult is just an adult.
The stereotypical FBI agent was ineffective and egotistical which is disappointing but I guess usual for this type of novel.
People who had been said there wasn’t much to see. I think they went to the wrong place, because I found it inspirational.
If you live at the top of a mountain, where it rains, a lot, I guess you need a sense of humour.
Kaikoura isn’t just about whales though, the land dwelling locals have a fun sense of humour with street artwork…
If you have any recommendations for people who wish to stay longer please let me know, I can only comment on the things I saw in my very few hours in this harbour of culture which sits at the feet of a tall and thriving metropolis.
I wasn’t going to pick up this book, despite recommendations, as it looked a bit tacky and predictable with a beautiful woman in evening dress and handcuffs on the cover. However it was brilliant!
The authors were ‘at the centre of a unique publishing drama that involved the release of some 250 000 secret diplomatic cables and classified files from the Afghan and Iraq wars’
A classic storyline and mystery of a woman, is she going mad, is she already insane or, is it a set up.
Very cleverly written, is she going mad or is someone trying to make it seem she is losing her grip? If so, who?
I read this in just over a day, it really grabs you and over you through the plot. I guess I’d describe it as ‘Gritty Scandinavian’.
Well, the blurb just about covers it, it’s a quirky tale of small town life with all its glorious triviality and complication.
This definitely appears high up in my long list of book recommendations. War is sadly a necessity and I do think this book is worth a read to know how brutal it can be on the individual.
This is a fairly routine tale of ‘small’ bad guy robs ‘big’ bad guy, goes on the run and repents. Well sort of with an odd twist or two.
