“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that was originally created by Breaking the Spine. Unfortunately Breaking the Spine are no longer hosting so I’m now linking my posts up to Wishful Endings Can’t Wait Wednesday. Don’t forget to stop over, link up and check out what books everyone else is waiting for. If you want to take part, basically, every Wednesday, we highlight a book that we’re really looking forward to. This week my book is : Missing Person by Sarah Lotz. I so enjoy Sarah Lotz books so I’m super excited to have spotted this one.
Reclusive Irish bookseller Shaun Ryan has always believed that his older brother, Teddy, died in a car accident. It’s only on his mother’s deathbed that he learns the truth: Teddy, who was gay, fled the Catholic, deeply conservative County Wicklow for New York decades earlier. Shaun finds no sign of him in New York or anywhere else–until he comes across the unsolved murder of a John Doe whose description matches Teddy’s.
Desperate for information, Shaun tracks down Chris Guzman, a woman who runs a website dedicated to matching missing persons cases with unidentified bodies. Through Chris’s site, a group of online cold case fanatics connect Teddy with the notorious “Boy in the Dress” murder, believed to be one of many committed by a serial killer targeting gay men.
But who are these cold case fanatics, and how do they know so much about a case that left the police and the FBI stumped? With investigators, amateurs, and one sadistic killer on a collision course, Missing Person is Sarah Lotz at her most thrilling and terrifying.
This sounds like a bit of a departure from her usual horror, but I like the sound of it😊
To be honest – I just want to read it if it’s by Sarah Lotz – so we’ll see.

I’ve been wanting to try out this author and this sounds like it may be a good place to start.
Well, I have no idea what this will be like, and it sounds a little different than what I’ve read previously – but, The White Road was so good. Definitely an author that I keep an eye out for what she’s up to next.

It sounds spooky. Enjoy it. 🙂
Yeah – that’s what I’m hoping for.

Woohoo, new Sarah Lotz! Running to add it to Goodreads right the hell now!
I know, I swear I did a happy little dance.

This one sounds like an ideal read on a sunny afternoon, Lynn – I hope you enjoy it!
Me too – I really do like Lotz.
