Rezensionen

"Gillian McAllister [has] quickly become one of my favorite authors working in the genre. This book is twisty and complex, with unexpected turns (so hard to do at this point, when so much ground has already been tread!) and characters you really root for. McAllister is the best at putting her characters in impossible situations and making her readers not only contemplate but feel what it would be like to find themselves in those situations." - Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"There was a point during Just Another Missing Person where I sat up and shouted in shock. Gillian McAllister stunned me . . . and she will stun you too. I dare you to not ingest this in one sitting."

- Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"Gillian McAllister knocks it out of the park yet again with this exquisitely plotted, seamlessly constructed police drama filled with clever twist after clever twist, gasp out loud reveals and beautifully realized characters. Just tremendous."
- Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"A high-concept mash-up of different genres that transcends its wackadoodle premise with an affecting portrayal of a family careening toward crisis...

The story becomes unexpectedly tender as Jen moves further back in time, in awe of the youth she let slip by so easily, and shocked by how much she did not know." - New York Times on Wrong Place Wrong Time

"Another ingeniously plotted genre-bender... McAllister succeeds in making us care, and the result is a tour de force." - The Guardian (UK) on Wrong Place Wrong Time
