Review: Rouse, Missing (2009)

[truepenny]

Missing - Every Year, Thousands of People Vanish Without Trace. Here are the True Stories Behind Some of These Mysteries by Rose Rouse

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This is, unfortunately, a collection of human interest stories about missing persons cases, starting with Madeleine McCann and ranging from person-goes-out-and-never-comes-back to an adopted child finding his birth parents. The stories all feel like something you'd read in a "women's magazine." All of them are either ongoing mysteries or have resulted in the lost person being found alive and well. Whether on purpose or not, Rouse has managed to avoid all stories that end with the discovery of a body.

Not a good fit for my tastes.
