Critic reviews

"Gripping, authentic, funny and moving, Missing, Presumed hits the sweet spot between literary and crime fiction. The plot is gripping, with a twist that knocked me sideways, swiftly followed by another one that knocked me back in the other direction. More than that, the characters became dear friends over the course of the book. I'm already looking forward to the next one." (Erin Kelly)
"DS Manon Bradshaw is a messed-up, big-hearted detective in the best tradition." (Harriet Lane)
"Within a chapter, DS Manon Bradshaw announces herself as a detective to follow through books and books to come. A treat in store for those who love their crime fiction rich in psychology, beautifully written and laced with dark humour. Dive in." (Lucie Whitehouse)

having listened to most recent in series I was a little unsure of tracking back, but I loved this. it unpacked the origin of the main characters , helped get a real feel for them against a backdrop plot that unwound slowly but satisfactorily. highly believable once again and wonderfully narrated - loved the Male voices. thank you! now for something completely different before returning to No 2!

Brilliant. This is a well paced novel with a police setting. The characters are more central than the investigat

Better than a police procedural

Narrator’s Scottish and Irish accents were terrible. Story was OK but main character was irritatingly needy

OK

it was a really good story believable and gripping. that was until the last chapter and it left me totally disillusioned and thinking 'AS IF!!!'. a real disapointment .

good until the end

struggled to finish it. Sleep kept intervening so couldn't manage to follow the story line

difficult to follow as I kept missing chunks by go

This was an interesting story but not necessarily up to the rave reviews there have been.
I think I should have read the book rather than listen to the Audible version as I found the narrator distracting- the Scottish and Irish accents were dreadful and those of the male characters, such as Davy were downright odd.
Anyway I would actually read the next in the series as I feel this would give the characters the depth they merit rather than the restrictions given by the very odd voice characterisation of the narrator.

Story good, narration not so

Much more than a police procedural. It is a story of families of flawed characters, loss and mistakes, rejection and acceptance, guilt and forgiveness. A really first rate novel. I look forward to her next work!

Rivetting

I really enjoyed the storyline - very well written.
Unfortunately the narration spoilt my enjoyment.
Most of the women sound like 7 year old girls, many of the men sounded like East End Gangsters.
Could do with a re-record as the story is so good.

Excellent story but some of the character voices were awful

Loved it. Great story. Great characters. Good narrator apart from the Scottish accent! I'm off to see if there are others in the series.

Great story.
