The Missing Ones by Anita Waller
The Missing Ones by Anita Waller -crime/psychological thriller
Ray Eke was a successful accountant until the day he threw his chair around the office. He suffered a breakdown and opted out of his company leaving his friend Mark to take the reins. He started litter picking voluntarily and from this the council employed him. One day whilst doing the job he loves he finds a body. When a woman then goes missing and the police begin to suspect one is linked to the other the search intensifies for both the missing woman and links to the murder. It appears the women both worked, albeit very temporarily in one case at Ray’s old accountancy firm. Ray was away in therapy when the first woman went missing but could Mark or someone else have something to do with this?
Oh boy! I love Anita's novels. They are such an easy read and I find myself turning more and more, devouring the whole thing. There’s a cracking plot and wonderful characters, Ray was one I took to very quickly (think Ove type character). A magical mix from a truly talented skilful author. A blinder of a read with several twists that blew me away. Five huge stars and more if I could.

The Missing Ones
Ray Eke has always found peace in his job, collecting litter for the city council. Until the day he finds the brutalized, bloodless body of a girl on his round. He recognizes her immediately too. Lauren Pascoe went missing three years before. It’s also clear she hasn’t been lying on the roadside verge all this time. Someone’s clearly been holding her prisoner. Keeping her as their very special toy. The police know it couldn’t have been Ray, whose gentle heart is obvious to all. But then another girl is taken. And she’s someone who Ray had a connection to, back in his previous job as an accountant, before his breakdown…
The twists in this novel are guaranteed to leave readers with their jaws on the floor. Just when you think you know who the killer is, you’ll have your mind blown!
