Girl Missing was previously released many, many years ago as
Peggy Sue Got Murdered and I can really see this book as a predecessor to the very popular Rizzoli and Isles series. While it was good and had a strong "romantic" side, it was very obvious that the book was an early effort. For one thing there was a mention made to someone not even being able to program a VCR - when was the last time you even HAD a VCR to program? The story was a bit predictable in some areas, but I admit to not having figured out the reason that triggered all of the overdoses.
Bottom line,
Girl Missing is a quick read fluff read, almost along the lines of "cozy mysteries.
If you go into this book realizing that it is not up to the standards that we have come to expect from Tess Gerritsen, then you will be fine. Any other expectations and you might just be disappointed.
