Book Review: The Missings by Peg Brantley - Page 5

There are no faults in The Missings. Not in story or plot, not in character development or setting. Not in the detailing of racial stereotypes, and the interaction within those societies. Not in the heart-wrenching exploration of the emotional challenges of patients hoping against hope for an organ donor and not a fault in the sinister exploitation of that hope.

As a novelist, Peg Brantley has done the equivalent of winning Rookie Of The Year with her debut, and MVP with her sophomore novel. It exceeds all expectations as a detective story, as a suspense thriller, and as a police procedural. I declared in the review of Red Tide that she was a force to be reckoned with. Now, with The Missings she has proven herself a nuclear super power of the thriller genre. The book is available now as an ebook, while the paperback version is targeted for release the first part of November.
