How to Find a Missing Girl by Victoria Wlosok
4.0

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the arc!

How To Find A Missing Girl is a suspenseful thriller focused on a small town where two girls have gone missing. Our main character, Iris is the pansexual leader of a sapphic detective agency she started after her older sister, Stella went missing a year ago. The police say that Stella ran away, but Iris knows that’s not true. And now, her ex girlfriend has gone missing and she knows that they must be connected.
What a roller coaster this book was! Sometimes I find with books like these it’s obvious who the villain is, but not this time! I was left guessing till the very end, and what a twist that was! Iris is a great main character: brave, smart and maybe just a teensy bit foolhardy. I really loved watching her relationship with Lea, they’re perfect for each other. I loved the side characters of Sammy and Imani as well, although I felt that towards the end of the book they were kind of forgotten about. I enjoyed the interpolation of the story with the podcast, and I felt like the author did a good job of showing how ‘true crime’ stuff can affect a victim’s family and invade their privacy. Also please check trigger ear songs before reading, this book has alcoholism, on page death and more. Overall, 4 stars.
