Just Another Missing Person

 

I enjoyed Gillian's book "Wrong Place, Wrong Time", so I decided to give this one a try. I think I actually liked it better, it was really good. 

Julia, a police detective, is notified of a missing person, a young lady named Olivia. She and her partner Jonathan start their investigation. Then Julia is threatened by a man who sneaks into her car: stop looking for Olivia and plant evidence framing a man named Matthew for her murder. If she doesn't do it, he will tell everyone that her daughter killed someone the year before and Julia covered it up. 

Julia is pretty distraught but does as he says, willing to do anything to save her daughter. She continues looking for Olivia after planting the evidence, and the case gets stranger. No one actually saw Olivia after she moved into her new house the day before, the housemates just texted with her. She disappeared down a dead-end alley. There are barely any clothes in her room and they're all different sizes. Something isn't adding up. It definitely kept me guessing and it had a happyish ending, so that was nice.
