Just Another Missing Person

Lauren Piper

         I argue with myself over when to write a review for a book.  Should I write it as soon as I finish the book?  Should I sit and stew over it for a while before writing the review?  Some books I don’t even want to write a review on, but I have made it a rule for 2024 that I will write one for every book I finish.  Frequently, I sit here in front of my computer with a Sims-like question mark hanging over my head; clueless as to what I’m going to say about a book.

            This is one of those books.

            I finished it, so I didn’t completely hate it, but I got unbelievably bored with it.  I genuinely didn’t care about any of the main characters, which made the not main characters even less main character-y than normal.  The storyline wasn’t terrible…but it was just so bland I truly just…didn’t care.  I had a slight emotional reaction to the parents of the long-missing woman, but everybody else invoked nothing for me. 

            Much like the title…this is just another middle of the road mystery.
