With humor and pathos, Garrett’s writing exposes the dynamics of race as media narratives careen out of control. The mystery is intriguing, but slower to unfold, with provocative twists that I wished I had encountered earlier ... Garrett’s mastery of character and wry social observation shine bright in the eye of this storm, even if her protagonist is both sympathetic and deeply frustrating.
Insightful ... Garrett makes the reader care very deeply about what happens to Breanna, even when her actions can seem irrational ... Sharply honed twists, realistic dialogue and a solid setting elevate Missing White Woman.
Deceptive appearances, boundless speculation, and racial prejudices drive this twisty, chillingly relatable story. Garrett’s second thriller... is a page-turning winner.
