All the Missing Girls is a very well written,intriguing,gripping book.Starting the story from day 15 of a girl's disappearance and working backwards to day 1 after a couple of chapters that set the scene and introduce you to the main characters is a totally brilliant idea and very ingenious.I was gripped from the first word and read the book in two days,I really couldn't put it down.You might think that knowing about an event and then finding out what caused that event in the next chapter might be frustrating or that events would get repeated over again but that doesn't happen.There was no unwanted drawn out descriptions or pages of padding,the story flowed along nicely and really drew me in.
The characters are mostly unlikable and all have dark secrets that they would do anything to keep hidden.The only characters I could feel some sympathy for were Everett who`s only mistake was falling in love and Nic`s dad who was only doing what he though was right to protect his daughter.
The story twists and turns and really keeps you guessing,telling the story backwards is a brilliant new idea,going on this she is an author well worth keeping an eye out for and I look forward to reading more books written by her in the future.
