I read a recommendation for " Missing Presumed" in the Guardian only later to discover that the authoress had once been a journalist writing in that newspaper a position she would have been well advised not to leave.
The characterization was so poor as to be beyond belief and the attempt to tell the story through the eyes of the main characters fell flat on its face as the authoress does not have the ability to write in this manner. I believe that authors write in the present tense to make their stories more urgent or exciting but in this case it did neither. I have a rule that I must finish any book I start and I did finish this but with the utmost difficulty.The story line was weak and the style pretentious. I rarely write reviews unless the books are superb or dire and this book unfortunately belongs to the latter.
