Missing Person by Sarah Lotz
3.0

This book was an interesting read, I found it a bit of a slow burn but overall enjoyed the book.
It's written in a very interesting format of group chat messages, online forum talks and texts brought forth through a multiple point of view prespective in 4 different parts. The story is filled with dysfunctional family, secrets, lies and some shocking surprises.
Missing Persons by @lorzwriting follows a bunch of websleuhers trying to solve missing person cases on an online forum called missing-linc.

Shaun a young gay man in Ireland who works at a bookshop and lives with his dog is grieving the loss of his mother. He discovers information from a stranger that his uncle Teddy, who he thought to have died in a car crash may actually still be alive. Shaun desperate to find his mothers favorite brother decides to look into it further and puts up a picture online and contacting missing-linc.

Missing-linc thinks that the picture resembles one of their missing person cases profiled on the site. The case of an unidentified Male body found in a pink dress. From here there is a bunch of investing and trying to discover what actually happened to the man in the pink dress and who committed such a crime.

I won't go into a lot of detail because I don't want to give anything away but if you want to know if it a serial killer or a sex crime? Or whether they ultimately find the murderer? You sound definitely read this book.


Thanks to Mulholland books and netgalley for my gifted copy in exchange for a review
