Today is my turn on the blog tour for Missing by A.D. Hay. Missing is the first book in a reporter crime thriller series. A big thank you to the author and Sarah Hardy for having me along.

This time, things are different...

You'll love this gripping cloak and dagger mystery because of the twists, turns, and ending you'll never guess.
My Review
Well wow, that was a lot of story in a small amount of pages! This novella definitely doesn't short change you on content. The story is fast paced and the turns it takes threw me off completely more than once!
James is a very well fleshed out character and it was so nice to see a main make character that's pretty in touch with his feelings. He's not afraid to show them and it's such a nice change from the usual battle hardened character.
I loved the idea of Excalibur and I'm just amazed it wasn't a front page story in the paper, not just a filler. But maybe that's just me.
I really enjoyed Missing and I look forward to delving further into James's world and am looking forward to more from A.D. Hay.
I gave this book 4 stars.
