The Girls Who Disappeared by Claire Douglas
5.0
Claire Douglas has never disappointed me. I was gripped from the very beginning.
The random chapters set in Thailand threw me off at first. It felt a little disconnected from the previous chapters. But I was intrigued to how they connect to the missing girls. It took 3/4 of the book before we got the solid link. Which I didn't guess. I feel like I probably should have but Douglas was sneaky with the nicknames so I totally missed the clues.
The twists and reveals were interesting. I do feel it may have been a bit much with everything that was revealed but Douglas's writing captivated me the whole time that it didn't take my enjoyment of the story away.
I will say Jenna bringing up her son every 5 seconds throughout the book got a little irritating. I also felt that it might not have been totally realistic for Dale to be on the case considering his connection to the missing girls.
