The Dead and the Missing: An Adam Park Thriller by A.D. Davies is a thriller that will keep you guessing until the very last page. Adam Park is a retired private investigator enjoying life. When his old friend, Harry, gets in touch with him about a missing girl, Adam believes it is time to get back to work. Sarah is missing, and Adam is determined to find her no matter what the cost, and it quickly becomes a very high price. Adam meets many good and bad guys along the way while searching in Paris and Vietnam, and it is usually not clear who is good or who is evil. Adam finds himself in danger often and only through his quick wit and cunning ways does he survive and put all of the pieces together. Park has lots of money, computer technology, and old fashioned know-how to solve the crime and keep everyone alive.
The Dead and the Missing is loaded with twists and turns and excitement, and had me holding my breath in fear several times, never being one hundred percent sure of how it would end. A.D. Davies is a very talented author who understands the how-to’s of writing a thriller to keep you on the edge of your seat. I found The Dead and the Missing to be everything the book description said and much more. It was a great read and is highly recommended. The Dead and the Missing has all the ingredients of a five star winner.
