First Thought when Finished: I can see why Girl Missing is what Tess Gerritsen calls a “bridge” novel. The mystery was strong, there was a romance, but the characters are more along the lines of her more recent novels (takes awhile for you to warm up to them but when you like them they are fantastic).
Overall Thoughts: I really enjoyed reading Girl Missing. I knew that Tess had written romantic suspense in the past but had never tried them. Tess is a brilliant mystery writer and her case work is stellar. The methodical way she takes you step by step through solving the crime with the characters is a big reason she is one of my favorites. In Girl Missing, the case was super strong and fun to figure out. I wasn’t a fan of the romance but also didn’t think it distracted from the story. This is early Tess but still very good Tess!
Audio Thoughts:
Narrated By Susan Ericksen / Length: 8 hrs and 10 mins
I am a fan of Susan’s narration. She has a great tone for procedural books (she does the JD Robb series too) and strong/smart women are right up her alley. She did a very good job with Girl Missing!
Final Thoughts: I would recommend this to fans of Tess even if you aren’t a fan of romance. It was a darn good case!

Sounds like Susan Ericksen moved the book up a notch, she’s so good! Mystery ah?…I so need to try different genres. I’m going to make it point in the new year to try.
I’m going be away for the next 10 days, I don’t know how much I’ll be able to be on line, so I’d like to wish you a Merry, Merry Christams π
I might have read something by her long ago
I think this was previously published under another title, but I love all of her books, and her cases always rock. Wonderful review!
Girl, you are burning through audiobooks!
Not really! Most of these (not this one) I read earlier in the year but never wrote reviews. *sigh*
I still haven’t read a book by her and I so need to fix this! Might have to try an audio. Hm…
She is a really good thriller writer. She is on my bucket list to meet!
