Hi everyone!
Welcome to my stop on the blog tour Missing by A.D. Hay! Thanks to Book On The Bright Side for my spot on the tour! Check out my review and let me know what you think in the comments!
Excalibur is missing, a killer is on the loose, and his career is on the line…
James has a nose for trouble. But that’s nothing new.
This time, things are different…
…his life is on the line.
James is the chief editor of a small newspaper. It’s hardly captivating work. He’s bored. But all of that is about to change.
Late one evening, he returns home to discover his long-time girlfriend and journalist, Valentine has left. Early the next morning, James fails to reallocate her assigned story. To avoid blank space in the culture section, and loosing his job, he decides to write the story on the local museums latest acquisition, Excalibur.
But, there’s one thing he didn’t count on…
….Excalibur is missing, and a dead body is at the crime scene.
As his investigations commence, James unravels a tangled web of betrayal, kidnapping, and murder. But, his fact-finding hasn’t gone unrecognised. The wrong people have started to notice. And there will be consequences…dire consequences.
You’ll love this gripping cloak and dagger mystery because of the twists, turns, and ending you’ll never guess.
Missing is the first book in a reporter crime thriller series. Get it now.
Review:
Novellas are not easy to write because you need to be able to get your point across quickly, while maintaining authenticity. Missing is an engrossing novella. A.D. Hay was able to create a story I cared about in a small amount of pages.
There are likeable characters and not so likeable characters, but the ones that are highlighted feel real. I enjoy when an author can create characters that feel relatable in a novella.
A ‘whodunit mystery that kept me guessing. I think this is a really great start to what will be a great crime series. I look forward to seeing where it goes. Check this one out!
Rating:
4/5☆
*I recieved a free copy of this book from BOTBS Publicity in exchange for an honest review on the blog tour. All opinions are my own and unbiased.*
A.D. Hay is a passionate bibliophile and can usually be found reading a book, and that book will most likely be a thriller. She is the author of Missing, the first book in a thriller series. When not absorbed in a gripping page-turner or writing, she loves to travel, drink tea, rosé, and eat pizza.
