The Girl in the Missing Poster-Psychological Thriller-Available Now

Let’s get something straight right away. If you’re a fan of Barbara Copperthwaite, you will NOT be disappointed by The Girl in the Missing Poster in the least. I think it’s one of her best.

If you haven’t read anything by her, now’s your chance, because this one is just sooooo good!

The premise grabs, the action is plentiful, and keeps moving. There are plenty of moments that make the reader second guess what they know.

Who could ask for anything more in a psychological thriller?

I enjoyed how we got insight to Stella’s character right off the bat. It was obvious that she had worked hard to establish her own identity. But she wasn’t comfortable in her own skin a lot of the time.

She was conflicted in many ways, and some of them were unnecessarily self-imposed.

I found her choice of profession especially interesting. Especially as she tried to apply what she knew about animal behavior to human behavior. It wasn’t always successful.

The author did a good job of making Stella human with human failings. She was a real person trying to cope with impossible situations.

I particularly liked how the reader got to know just enough about each of the characters to wonder if there was something more to them.

For example, I suspected a character early on, but then changed my mind about halfway through. Before again suspecting them…I’m not saying if I was right or wrong in the end.

This happened with no fewer than four characters, and I found that “chase” for the bad guy to be thrilling.

I liked how Stella came to the realization about the motives of “Dear Friend.” Itwas a great moment. I also thought the way the tone of their communications changed was especially intriguing.

The interspersal of documentary transcripts was also very effective. The reader got to hear the stories of the people involved “in their own words.” This became very important in the closing scenes.

And I’m going to stop this review before I give anything away. Because this is most certainly going to be more entertaining if you read it without knowing much more.

I loved every second of The Girl in the Missing Poster, and it is definitely one of my favorites of the year so far!
