How to find a missing Girl by Victoria Wlosok

Good evening lovely book readers,


I hope you're settling into your week. Weekend is around the corner, yay more books to read.


Let us jump into this review.


For fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and Veronica Mars, this whip-smart thriller follows a sapphic detective agency as they seek the truth behind a growing trail of missing girls in small-town Louisiana. 


A year ago, beloved cheerleader Stella Blackthorn vanished without a trace. Devastated, her younger sister, Iris, launched her own investigation, but all she managed to do was scare off the police’s only lead and earn a stern warning: Once she turns eighteen, more meddling means prison-level consequences.


Then, a year later, the unthinkable happens. Iris’s ex-girlfriend, Heather, goes missing, too—just after dropping the polarizing last episode of her true crime podcast all about Iris’s sister. This time, nothing will stop Iris and her amateur sleuthing agency from solving these disappearances.


But with a suspicious detective watching her every move, an enemy-turned-friend-turned-maybe-more to contend with, and only thirty days until she turns eighteen, it’s a race against the clock for Iris to solve the most dangerous case of her life.


5 star read! I don't have a lot of 5 star reads but this one made it there.


So this is a mystery, murder mystery, Young Adult and a pretty decent book. When I saw that it was for fans of A Good Girls Guide to Murder, I just couldn't leave it like that. I had to read, it is AGGGTM that put me into liking murder mystery and wanting to read more of those.


The plot was half expected, it did not see the other half too, but the fact that a girl goes missing just because she released a podcast about another girl missing a year ago was clearly clever on the person who did it and then really good. Although the podcast seemed a bit to sluggish and like a sketch that was not ready yet.


However the main character was nice and kind of relatable on some of the parts. There were other parts I did not like about Iris. But it is a really good debut novel for this author, and I would definitely love more murder mysteries from her.


Love,

Manon
